Fig. 7.9. Lacunar brain stem stroke. Typical example of a lacunar brain stem stroke that would be missed if only transverse DWI images were obtained ( DWI negative stroke ). In this case, a faint DWI lesion was seen on coronal sections at the acute time point, but both transverse and sagittal planes did not show an unequivocal lesion. PI, on the other hand, showed a clear-cut perfusion deficit in the brain stem. Follow-up images confirmed a small infarct in the brain stem. (Images were acquired in collaboration with P. Sterzer, Neurology, Frankfurt, and R. du Mesnil de Rochemont, H. Lanfermann, Neuroradiology, Frankfurt)...

The group of van den Berg prefers for assessment of structural changes in the mouse knee the coronar sections over the sagittal plane (van der Kraan et al. 1994), depicting both condyles, and facilitating the detection of osteophytes. 

For propagation in an isotropic medium or along a pure-mode direction of a crystal (e.g., a plane of symmetry). Equation 3.38 reduces to a Rayleigh wave, characterized by having no transverse component Ux = 0. Since Uy and Uz are 90° out of phase, the particles move in an elliptical orbit in the sagittal plane die surface motion resembles that of the ocean under the influence of a passing wave. 

Fig. 6. Particle motion analysis of an event from the Western Pacific recorded at station 5110. Upper hodogramis in the horizontal plane lower one is in the sagittal plane. Ellipticity is greatest in the 33—50 s period. R, T and Z, radial, transverse and vertical components, respectively.

Figure 13 Applying the PET shell analysis program to the lung images. One transmission slice from each of the coronal, transaxial, and sagittal planes is illustrated. The number of shells will vary with the geometry (cross-sectional area) of the slice. The shell configurations, obtained for the transmission scan slices, are then superimposed on the emission scans, slice by slice, providing volume and activity information related to the distribution of drug within the lung.

A) Transections of the heart following the classical human body planes (1) frontal plane, (2) horizontal plane and (3) sagittal plane. (B) Transections of the heart following the heart planes that cut the body obliquely. These are the planes used by the cardiac imaging experts (1) short-axis (transverse) view, in this case at mid-level (see B(1)) ... 

Figure 3.2 (A) shows normal electrocardiogram and vectocardiogram of a man with vertical heart. Observe the clockwise rotation of the QRS loop in the frontal plane, as it occurs in 65% of normal individuals. In the horizontal plane, QRS loop turns counter-clockwise, while in right sagittal plane in clockwise direction, as it happens normally. See the T loop with the first part of slower...

For brains sectioned in the sagittal plane, vertical needles were inserted in both hemispheres at 3.0 mm posterior to the interaural... 

Brains remove from the skull for sectioning on the horizontal or sagittal planes initially presented a problem in that they assumed the shape of the stage on which they were positioned. To avoid this distortion, the brains were frozen in the skull, and the skull bones were then prized off the frozen brains. 

Because of symmetry constraints at the surface, phonons propagating in a high-symmetry direction must be polarized either in the sagittal plane... 

Figure 20. Surface phonon dispersion for Rbl(OOl). The upper panel shows a comparison of the HAS data with a slab dynamics calculation for the unrelaxed surface, while the lower panel is a comparison of the same data with a similar calculation for a relaxed surface. The sagittal plane and shear horizontal modes are labeled by SP and SH, respectively, and the superscripts indicate which ion (Rb or T) is predominantly involved in the motion of the mode. The other labels follow the notation of Figs. 16 and 17. (Reproduced from Fig. 3 of Ref. 68, with permission.)...

In the rx region of the SBZ, no points corresponding to the S2 mode were found. However, the relaxation appears to introduce a sagittal plane mode with perpendicular polarization just below the shear horizontal mode S5, for which a number of data points are rather close. Again, there are some points that appear to be associated with crossing and longitudinal... 

Figure 27. Extended zone plot for MgO(001) showing the data obtained from a number of TOF spectra. The solid curve is the calculated Rayleigh wave dispersion, while the dashed curve in the <110> direction is the S7 shear horizontal mode which lies below the sagittal plane modes for this crystal in this direction. The dot-dashed line is a scan curve at the angles indicated. (Reproduced from Fig. 3 of Ref. 82, with permission.)...

According to Grieve and Pheasant (1982), terms of relative body position can be defined as follows. The medial and lateral positions refer to nearer to or farther from the mid-sagittal plane. The superior or inferior positions refer to nearer to or further from the top of the body. The anterior (ventral) and posterior (dorsal) positions refer to in front of or behind another structure. The superficial and deep positions refer to nearer to and farther from the body surface, respectively. Nearer to or farther from the trunk positions are called proximal and distal. Terms of body movements are defined in Table 4. 

A = the angle of asymmetry—angular displacement of the load from the sagittal plane, measured at flie origin and destination of the lift (degrees). F = average frequency of lift (lifts/minute).
