Basic Concepts Flashcards
The major planes are ________ (form 90 degree angle to each other)
Orthogonal
Two types of Sagittal
Midsagittal: equal
Parasagittal: unequal
Transverse plane AKA
Axial plane
Coronal plane AKA
Frontal plane
Equal anterior and posterior sections (what plane)
Midaxillary plane
Plane parallel to the long axis of a structure but not necessarily a Sagittal plane on the body
Longitudinal plane
Plane at an angle
Oblique plane
_____ refers to the location from which an ultrasound transducer makes it scan
Acoustic window
_______ of the display of an ultrasound image is required for accuracy, consistency and to reduce errors
Standardization
Superior AKA (2)
Cranial
Cephalic
Inferior AKA
Caudal
Anterior AKa
Ventral
Posterior AKA
Dorsal
Structures on same side
Ipsilateral
Related to the wall of the body
Parietal

Right/left anterior oblique
Patient slanted with head down
Trendelenburg
Feet lower than head
Reverse trendelenburg
Dorsal cavities
Cranial and vertebral/spinal
Ventral cavities
Thoracic and Abdominopelvic
