1
Q
Sagittal planes
A
The mid or median sagittal plane divides the body into equal right and left sections.
2
Q
Transverse planes
A
Divide the body into unequal superior and inferior sections

10
Q
Focal zone
A
An area where the sound beam is narrow and imaging is at its best.
11
Q
Angle of incidence
A
The angle at which the sound beam strikes the surface of a structure, affects the image.
