Sagittal magnetic resonance imaging of the brain is included in many brain imaging protocols and, when taken alone, the sagittal plane is useful for providing diagnostic information about common pathologies. The sagittal plane is also a valuable time-efficient method for reviewing pertinent findings with clinicians. The purpose of this pictorial review was to revisit the normal anatomy and common pathologies that can be detected in sagittal magnetic resonance images of the brain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
