    This document discusses sonographic scanning planes and anatomical reference planes. It explains that anatomy is learned in standard planes like median sagittal, coronal, and transverse, and that organs must be scanned in at least two perpendicular planes to obtain a 3D picture. The document also defines different anatomical positions like supine, prone, and lateral decubitus, and shows how reference planes apply both when standing and lying down.

    SONOGRAPHIC SCANNING PLANES

    by OKSANA H. BALTAROWICH, M.D. Jefferson Ultrasound Research & Education Institute


    We gratefully acknowledge support of this project by the Open Society Institute-New York

    BASIC PRINCIPLES
    We learn anatomy in standard and crosssectional planes. We scan the body in sections and reproduce a mental 3-D picture of the internal organs. Every organ or area of interest must be scanned in at least two perpendicular planes in order to obtain a 3-D picture.

    ANATOMICAL REFERENCE PLANES


    Anatomical position Erect Facing forward Main reference plane Median sagittal plane

    ANATOMICAL REFERENCE PLANES


    MEDIAN SAGITTAL PLANE Longitudinal, vertical plane Divides the body into right and left halves All sagittal planes are parallel to the median sagittal plane

    ANATOMICAL REFERENCE PLANES


    CORONAL PLANES Longitudinal, vertical planes

    Divide the body into anterior and posterior, front and back parts

    ANATOMICAL REFERENCE PLANES


    TRANSVERSE PLANES Horizontal, transaxial planes

    Divide the body into superior and inferior, cranial (cephalic) and caudal (tail) parts

    ANATOMICAL REFERENCE PLANES


    OBLIQUE PLANES
    Inclined from the standard planes In any direction
    Difficult to describe

    ANATOMICAL POSITIONS
    SUPINE
