Well have no fear. Today we're going to decode the mysterious language ofanatomical terms of location. It's a set of vocabulary that describes the orientation and movement of different parts of the human body. You might wonder, "Why don't we just use 'front,' 'back,' 'inside,' 'out...
including computer-assisted three-dimensional (3D) imaging and the use of surgical models. These techniques provided enhanced intraoperative orientation. 3D printing has recently been applied as an advanced tool with properties and potential advantages of both 3Dimaging and ...
The anatomical position is a frame of reference that is used when people describe anatomy and movement. Because organisms often change position and orientation, using a standardized position when describing their features is important, as it allows people to clearly understand the anatomical location ...
Within the brain white matter, characterisation of the anisotropic nature of the signal (achieved through acquisition of multiple images with varying diffusion sensitisation directions) allows for the estimation of the orientations of the underlying coherent neuronal axon populations (Tournier et al., ...
(one male and one female from the two younger cohorts and two males from the older cohort) were cross-sectioned perpendicular to their fibers. For muscles that have multiple components in which the fascicular orientation varies throughout (e.g., masseter), the section was taken perpendicular ...
Current visualization methods are only capable of conveying detailed information about the orientation, internal structure, and other local properties of the anatomical objects for a typical individual, not for a particular patient. Although one can derive the shape of the individual patient's object ...
For each orientation (θi, φi), the rays will stop at the true boundary S with the exception of orientations where there exist a voxel that belongs to C in the interior of T or for directions where the boundary S is fuzzy, i.e. when it does not belong to C. In the first case...
The macroscale connectome is the network of physical, white-matter tracts between brain areas. The connections are generally weighted and their values interpreted as measures of communication efficacy. In most applications, weights are either assigned ba
This temporary RCS if finally transformed back to the actual bone using the CS-to-CS transformation matrix and defines the actual RCS. Eigenvector analysis, as used in the above procedure, provides the orientation of the RCS z-axis, but not the +z or –z direction. In this study all ...
The lateromedial (LM), posterior-anterior (PA) and inferior-superior (IS) directions are shown, with the IS direction corresponding with the anatomical axis. Full size image Figure 2 Measurement of (A) the slope of the tibia plateau and (B) the orientation of the fibular notch. The ...
