Rostral landmarks include the lower thoracic vertebrae, along with the lumbar vertebrae, and their associated ribs. Caudal landmarks include, the sacrum, coccyx, ileum and ischium and pubic bones.

The bony landmarks are: iliac crest (a good place to put you hands on), anterior superior iliac spine (that "bump" you can feel on either side of your stomach if it is flat), symphysis pubis (between the legs), sacral promontory which you can not feel but is above the leaf shaped tail bone called the sacrum. Plus the lower ribs and end of the sternum.
