Sagittal Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain: One Side of the Story

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.
