  • Body Planes and Anatomical References Anatomic References Body Direction
    Body Planes and Anatomical References Anatomic References Body Direction • Health care workers need to be able to clearly identify areas of the body. They must do so in order to correctly apply treatments, injections, and diagnoses. • Such directional terms are based on anatomical position. In this position, the body is upright and facing forward, with the arms at the sides and the palms toward the front. Body Planes • Body planes are imaginary lines drawn through the body. They separate the body into sections and are used to create directional terms. • The three body planes are: ▫ Transverse ▫ Midsagittal ▫ Frontal Transverse Plane and Related Directional Terms • The transverse plane is horizontal and divides the body into a top half and a bottom half. ▫ Body parts above other parts are called superior. ▫ Body parts below other body parts are called inferior. • Two other terms related to this plane also refer to direction. ▫ Cranial refers to body parts toward the head. ▫ Caudal refers to body parts toward the lower end of the spine or feet. Midsaggital Plane and Related Directional Terms • The midsaggital plane is also known as the median plane or the midline. • The midsaggital plane is vertical and divides the body into equal right and left halves. ▫ Body parts toward this plane are called medial. ▫ Body parts away from this plane are called lateral. Frontal Plane and Related Directional Terms • The frontal plane is also known as the coronal plane. • The frontal plane is vertical. It divides the body into front and back sections. ▫ Body parts toward the front section are called ventral, or anterior.

The anatomy of the pelvic floor and its fascial components are currently poorly described and misunderstood. This systematic search and review aimed to explore and summarize the current state of knowledge on the fascial anatomy of the pelvic floor in women. Methods: A systematic search was performed using Medline and Scopus databases. A synthesis of the findings with a critical appraisal was subsequently carried out. The risk of bias was assessed with the Anatomical Quality Assurance Tool. Results: A total of 39 articles, involving 1192 women, were included in the review. Although the perineal membrane, tendinous arch of pelvic fascia, pubourethral ligaments, rectovaginal fascia, and perineal body were the most frequently described structures, uncertainties were Citation: Roch, M.; Gaudreault, N.; identified in micro- and macro-anatomy.

  • Localisation of Focal Liver Lesions to Specific Hepatic Segments — Comparison of Multiphase Spiral CT and MR Imaging

Vol. 61, No. 4, pp. 291–297 Copyright © 2002 Via Medica O R I G I N A L ARTICLE ISSN 0015–5659 www.fm.viamedica.pl Localisation of focal liver lesions to specific hepatic segments — comparison of multiphase spiral CT and MR imaging Barbara Bobek-Billewicz1, Edyta Szurowska1, Adam Zapaśnik1, Ewa Iżycka-Świeszewska2, Tomasz Gorycki1, Marek Nowakowski1 1Department of Radiology, Medical University of Gdańsk, Poland 2Department of Pathomorphology, Medical University of Gdańsk, Poland [Received 2 October 2002; Revised 30 October 2002; Accepted 30 October 2002] The purpose of this study was an evaluation of the ability of the mulitiphase spiral CT and MR imaging to localise focal liver lesions referring to specific he- patic segments. The authors studied prospectively 26 focal liver lesions in 26 patients who had undergone spiral CT and MRI before surgery. Multiphase spiral CT included non- contrast scans, hepatic arterial-dominant phase, portal venous — dominant phase and equilibrium phase. MRI was performed in all cases. The following sequenc- es were performed: SE and TSE T1- and T2-weighted images, STIR and dynamic T1-weighted FFE study after i.v. administration of gadolinium (Gd-DTPA). The CT and MR scans were prospectively and independently reviewed by three radiologists for visualisation of hepatic and portal veins and segmental localisa- tion of hepatic lesions. The authors used the right and left main portal veins along with transverse fissu- ra, hepatic veins and gallbladder fossa as landmarks for the tumour localisation to specific hepatic segments. The primary segmental locations of the lesions were correctly determined with CT in 22 of 26 focal liver lesions (85%) and with MR imaging in 24 of 26 lesions (92%).

  • Intraoperative Transesophageal Two-Dimensional Echocardiography: a Basic Vertical Plane Patient Examination Sequence Terence D
    YALE JOURNAL OF BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE 68 (1995), pp. 119-147. Copyright C 1996. All rights reserved. Intraoperative Transesophageal Two-dimensional Echocardiography: A Basic Vertical Plane Patient Examination Sequence Terence D. Raffertya and Guy Tousignant Department ofAnesthesiology, Yale University School ofMedicine, New Haven, Connecticut (Received July 24, 1995; accepted December 15, 1995) We have previously reported a standardized stepwise transesophageal echocar- diography transverse plane (monoplane) patient examination sequence suitable for intraoperative use. Biplane transesophageal echocardiography furnishes images of the heart and great vessels in both transverse and vertical planes. This report describes a seven-step vertical plane examination, the completion com- ponent of a comprehensive intraoperative biplane evaluation. Each step is illus- trated by presentation of a two-dimensional echocardiographic image, a match- ing diagram and a schematic representation of the corresponding axis of inter- rogation. Examples of clinical presentations complete the report. Transesophageal echocardiography has become increasingly applied to intraoperative management of critically ill patients. Early clinical application of this diagnostic tech- nique in this setting was primarily restricted to detection of new-onset left ventricular regional wall motion abnormalities as indicators of myocardial ischemia [1]. It is now generally accepted that the practioner who wishes to use transesophageal echocardiogra- phy to monitor intraoperative left ventricular regional wall motion also has an obligation to perform a systematic assessment of the entire heart and the great vessels during the course of the surgical procedure. We have previously reported a standardized 10-step sequence of monoplane (transverse plane) transesophageal two-dimensional echocardio- graphic views, which constitute a basic patient examination capable of being performed by a practitioner whose primary responsibility is the delivery of anesthesia care [2].

  • Rib Movement in Health, Kyphoscoliosis, and Ankylosing Spondylitis
    Thorax: first published as 10.1136/thx.24.4.407 on 1 July 1969. Downloaded from Thorax (1969), 24, 407. Rib movement in health, kyphoscoliosis, and ankylosing spondylitis J. JORDANOGLOU1 From the Pulmonary Research Unit, Kitng's College Hospital Medical School, London, S.E.5 Costal movement was defined on living subjects by determining the spatial vectors along the ribs that are produced during inspiration. The determination of these vectors was achieved with an instrument specially designed for this purpose. Rib movement was studied on 61 ribs in 10 normal subjects and on 35 ribs in six patients suffering from kyphoscoliosis and ankylosing spondylitis. In normal subjects during smooth inspiration all the ribs studied, which ranged from the 2nd to the 9th, rotated round a single axis. The direction of the inspiratory movement of the ribs was oblique, upward, outward, and forward, and symmetrical in both hemithoraces. This direction is compatible with rotation around the rib-neck axis but not with other axes that have been postu- lated. In ankylosing spondylitis and in kyphoscoliosis the magnitude of rib movement was reduced but movement still took place solely around the rib-neck axis. In the patients with kyphoscoliosis the direction of this movement was altered due to a change in the position of the rib neck. Hitherto research workers have not agreed about inspiratory (Zi) position of any costal point repre- the manner in which ribs move. Some authors sents the spatial vector S (Fig. IA). These spatial consider that there is mono-axial movement of vectors show the amount as welil as the direction the rib round the rib-neck axis (Agostoni, 1964; of the inspiratory excursion of each point along http://thorax.bmj.com/ Ganong, 1965).

There are several traditional mediastinal compartment classifcation systems based upon anatomical landmarks and lateral chest radiograph. Recently, the Japanese Association of Research of the Thymus (JART) and the International Thymic Malignancy Interest Group (ITMIG) proposed new mediastinal compartment classifcation systems based on transverse CT images. These CT-based classifcation systems are useful for more consistent and exact diagnosis of mediastinal tumors. In this article, we review these CT-based mediastinal compart- ment classifcations in relation to the diferential diagnosis of mediastinal tumors. Keywords Mediastinum · Compartment · Computed tomography · Magnetic resonance imaging Introduction have resulted in confusion among physicians. In addition, the traditional models are based on lateral chest radiographs, The mediastinum is anatomically bound on the lateral side and thus some mediastinal lesions cannot be reliably local- by the parietal pleural refections along the medial aspects ized to a specifc compartment, since considerable overlap of both lungs, superiorly by the thoracic inlet, inferiorly by exists among the radiographically imaged compartments. the diaphragm, anteriorly by the sternum, and posteriorly Because mediastinal lesions are optimally evaluated with by the thoracic vertebral bodies.
