Abstract

Using 325‐mesh tantalum powder as a contrast medium, it is possible to take high‐resolution “radiodermatographs” of man and infra‐human primates that combine the advantages of postero‐anterior hand radiographs and conventional paper palm‐and‐finger prints. The radiodermatographs are particularly useful in relating creases, triradii and fingertip ridge patterns to differences in the proportions of the carpals, metacarpals and phalanges.
