Tree Number(s): H01.158.100.185
Unique ID: D019412
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D019412
Annotation: coordinate with organ/anat (IM)
Scope Note: Descriptive anatomy based on three-dimensional imaging (IMAGING, THREE-DIMENSIONAL) of the body, organs, and structures using a series of computer multiplane sections, displayed by transverse, coronal, and sagittal analyses. It is essential to accurate interpretation by the radiologist of such techniques as ultrasonic diagnosis, MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING, and computed tomography (TOMOGRAPHY, X-RAY COMPUTED).
