Chapter 1, Problem 18RQ

Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is defined by the plane or direction of the image.

Justification for correct answer:

Option (e) is given as coronal, axial, sagittal, or oblique plane. Generally, MRI is taken from the four planes: sagittal plane is taken from sides, coronal plane is taken from front, transverse plane taken from the top down, and oblique plane is a diagonal cross-section attained by imaging techniques. Hence, option (e) is the correct answer.
