First contact — visual and palpable landmarks of the thoracic region

A patient enters with rounded thoracic posture; the clinician locates bony landmarks to map levels before further examination.

Surface anatomy and palpation landmarks:

  • Suprasternal notch: central reference for upper thorax surface mapping.
  • Sternal angle: adjacent to the T4 vertebral level.
  • Scapular spine: typically overlies T3, while position varies between people.

Clinical notes on variability:

  • Anatomical variation and thoracic posture alter surface correspondence; confirm with bilateral landmark checks.
