You obtained a 3D sweep in an axial plane and are viewing it in a multiplanar display. What orthogonal planes will be displayed?

• A. Transverse and Coronal
• B. Transverse and Sagittal
• C. Coronal and Sagittal
• D. Oblique planes at 90 degrees

Answer: (C)

In multiplanar imaging, planes come in orthogonal pairs: axial is perpendicular to the other two standard planes. An axial sweep lies horizontally, so the planes perpendicular to it are the coronal and sagittal planes. The sagittal plane divides left from right, while the coronal plane divides front from back. Therefore, when viewing an axial reference on a multiplanar display, you’ll typically see the coronal and sagittal planes displayed. Oblique options aren’t the standard orthogonal pair for an axial reference.
