What are the anatomic planes?
The anatomic planes can be remembered as SOFT: S - Sagital Plane, O - Oblique, F - Frontal plane (coronal), T - Transverse plane.
What is the Sagital Plane?
The Sagital Plane splits the body into left and right.
What is the MidSagital or Median Plane?
The MidSagital or Median Plane divides the body into equal left and right halves.
What does the Oblique Plane refer to?
The Oblique Plane is a cut through the body at an angle.
What does the Frontal Plane (coronal) do?
The Frontal Plane divides the body into front and back halves.
What is the Transverse Plane?
The Transverse Plane divides the body horizontally into an upper (superior) and lower (inferior) half.
What does 'Anterior' or 'Ventral' mean?
Anterior or Ventral means nearer to the front of the body.
What does 'Posterior' or 'Dorsal' mean?
Posterior or Dorsal means nearer to the back of the body.
What does 'Proximal' mean?
Proximal means nearer to the point of origin or attachment.
What does 'Distal' mean?
Distal means further from the point of origin or attachment.
What does 'Medial' refer to?
Medial means nearer to the median plane.
What does 'Lateral' refer to?
Lateral means further from the median plane.
What does 'Superior' or 'Cephalic' mean?
Superior or Cephalic means nearer to the top of the head.
What does 'Inferior' or 'Caudal' mean?
Inferior or Caudal means nearer to the bottom of the feet.
What does 'Superficial' mean?
Superficial means towards the surface of an organ or the body.
What does 'Deep' mean?
Deep means towards the center of an organ or the body.
What does 'External' mean?
External means away from the center of an organ or cavity towards the surface.
What does 'Internal' mean?

What are the diagnostic imaging techniques mentioned?
1. Plain radiography (X-rays), 2. Contrast imaging, 3. Subtraction angiography, 4. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), 5. Ultrasound, 6. Nuclear medicine imaging, 7. Computer Tomography (CT scan).
What is the use of MRI?
MRIs have revolutionized the ability to evaluate the cranium (brain casing) and the human brain inside.
What is the supine position?
The supine position is lying horizontally with the face and torso facing up on your back.
