The Gaynor-Hart method is used to demonstrate calcifications in the carpal sulcus. This projection requires the wrist to be extended and the digits slightly flexed, allowing the carpal bones to separate and improve visualization of the carpal sulcus. The Coyle method is used to demonstrate the scaphoid and is not suitable for visualizing the carpal sulcus. The Jones method is used to demonstrate the pisiform, and the carpal bridge technique is used to demonstrate the proximal carpal bones.
