• starting review--Kevmin § 02:03, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

• Article GA promotion new enough, and article long enough with full citations and neutral tone to prose. no copyvios or close paraphrasing detected in the writing, with 3 word groupings detected by earwig coming from specific terminology names and descriptors. I feel Alt0 is the strongest hook but I would suggest swapping radiography with x-rays.--Kevmin § 19:49, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

• Changed radiographs to X-rays, let me know if there are any further problems. I agree that Alt0 is probably the strongest hook, and it fits well with the given diagram of the skeleton. Gasmasque (talk) 17:28, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

• Article GA'd, no detected close paraphrasing or copyvios in spot checking. Article fully cited and hooks verified to sourcing. ALT0 is approved with main page appropriate image. Good to go.--Kevmin § 17:57, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
