 ====Dorsal Plane====
-On a mid sagittal image, plan the slices parallel with the spinal cord. Slices should extend from the aorta dorsally up to the spinous process of the vertebrae. Where there is noted pathology, adjust the angle of the slices a bit for the best visualization.
+On a mid sagittal image, plan the slices parallel with the spinal cord. Slices should extend from the aorta dorsally up to the spinous process of the vertebrae. Where there is noted pathology, adjust the angle of the slices a bit for the best visualization. On thoracic spine dorsal imaging, the angle of the slices may be straight parallel to the body, or adjusted to emphasize pathology; be sure to clarify with the clinician.
