It's used to teach that there are 3 anatomical planes : Transverse plane ( horizontal + sagittal axes ), sagittal plane ( vertical + sagittal axes ) and frontal ( aka coronal ) plane ( horizontal + vertical ).

Although, historically, the images generated were in the axial or transverse plane, perpendicular to the long axis of the body, modern scanners allow this volume of data to be reformatted in various planes or even as volumetric ( 3D ) representations of structures.

If, for example, a wall describing an east-west line is under construction, then bricks oriented to point north-south may be built into the width of the wall, their length spanning two widths of brick and tying the brickwork on the transverse plane.

A variation involves sitting upright and using a cable machine; the machine is next to the shoulder opposite the muscle being worked ( in line with the coronal plane ), and the hand moves through the transverse plane across the front of the body at approximately eye level.
25.
The individual layers generally are orthotropic ( that is, with principal properties in orthogonal directions ) or transversely isotropic ( with isotropic properties in the transverse plane ) with the laminate then exhibiting anisotropic ( with variable direction of principal properties ), orthotropic, or quasi-isotropic properties.

The 12-lead EKG has a total of three " limb leads " and three " augmented limb leads " arranged like spokes of a wheel in the coronal plane ( vertical ) and six " precordial leads " that lie on the perpendicular transverse plane ( horizontal ).
27.
As mentioned above and unlike linear x-rays in Computed Tomography, electric currents travel three-dimensionally along the path of least resistivity ( figure 1 ), which results in partial loss of the electric current applied ( impedance transfer, e . g . due to blood flow through the transverse plane ).

This is similar to the location of the " mid-transverse plane ", which is the transverse plane made through the waist, into roughly two halves : the torso, arms and head on the top, and the pelvis and legs ( including hands if arms are held vertically ) at the bottom.

The loss of phase coherence in the transverse plane is called transverse or " T " 2 relaxation . " T " 1 is thus associated with the enthalpy of the spin system, or the number of nuclei with parallel versus anti-parallel spin . " T " 2 on the other hand is associated with the entropy of the system, or the number of nuclei in phase.
