Understanding slice orientation and image annotations

The Viewer includes coordinate annotations that explain the orientation of the subject when the scan captured the image.

You can combine these abbreviations to understand precisely how the subject was oriented in three planes.

In this image, the annotations explain that the image was obtained with the following orientations:


Location	Annotation	Definition
Top	SAR	Superior, anterior, right orientation
Right	SLA	Superior, left, anterior orientation
Bottom	IPL	Inferior, posterior, left orientation
Left	IRP	Inferior, right, posterior orientation
