Entry term(s) anatomía de secciones
anatomía tridimensional
Scope note: Anatomía descriptiva basada en imágenes en tres dimensiones (IMÁGENES TRIDIMENSIONALES) del organismo, los órganos y las estructuras, mediante una serie de secciones de múltiples planos, por ordenador, que muestran y analizan imágenes en planos transversos, coronales y sagitales. Es esencial que dichas técnicas se interpreten cuidadosamente por parte de un radiólogo, como ocurre con el diagnóstico mediante ultrasonidos, la RESONANCIA MAGNÉTICA NUCLEAR, y la tomografía computarizada (TOMOGRAFÍA COMPUTARIZADA DE RAYOS X).

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).
