![]() ![]() Planar nuclear medicine is also not cross-sectional, although the imaging radiation is emitted from the object of interest, rather than passed through it. The techniques rely on projection of an x-ray beam through an object to a receptor. Ultrasonography is sometimes included under this umbrella term, especially with reference to echocardiography, which produces standardized axial slices through the heart. However most radiologists do not tend to think of ultrasound as a cross-sectional technique since although it generates two-dimensional image "slices" of the body, the angle of the slices are often not perpendicular to the axis of the body.Įxamples of imaging techniques that are not cross-sectional include plain radiography, and fluoroscopy. A body that is lying down is described as either prone or supine. The regions of the body are labeled in boldface. Two cadavers, one male and one female, were encased in gelatin and then frozen into ice blocks, at frigid. ![]() The effort was called The Visible Human Project. ![]() National Library of Medicine decided to image the entire human body, from top to bottom, in cross-sectional segments about a millimeter thick. Cross-sectional imaging is usually used to refer to CT, MRI, PET, and SPECT and related imaging techniques, that view the body in cross-section i.e. Figure 1.4.1 Regions of the Human Body: The human body is shown in anatomical position in an (a) anterior view and a (b) posterior view. When anatomists or health professionals identify the location of a structure in the human body, they do so in reference to a body in anatomical position. Thoracic wall The first step in understanding thorax anatomy is to find out its boundaries. 100 (3 ratings) Transcribed image text: Label the abdominal cavity membranes and organs on the sagittal (median) view of the human torso using the terms provided.
