 ===Dorsal Plane===
-The dorsal plane angulation is tailored to the clinical scenario, and may not be consistent between exams. Due to the natural curve of the spine, there isn't one angle that will get all the spinal cord in one slice, to be sure to adjust the angle to best emphasize pathology noted on prior axial or sagittal images. It is good practice to extend slice coverage ventrally beyond the vertebral bodies, as the __Brachial Plexus__ nerves exit ventrocaudally  from C4/5 to T1/2. Incidental findings are also frequently located on the dorsal plane.
