The phrase "as a reference plane" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to geometry, engineering, or design where a specific plane is used as a basis for measurement or comparison.
Example: "In this architectural drawing, we will use the ground level as a reference plane for all vertical measurements."
Alternatives: "as a baseline" or "as a datum plane".
Tolerance stack-up has been eliminated using datum face as a reference plane in the fixture design.
To determine whether: (1) change in lamina cribrosa depth occurs more frequently than change in neuroretinal parameters in glaucoma, and (2) Bruch's membrane or anterior sclera should be used as a reference plane when measuring laminar depth.
The nasofrontozygomatic (NFZ) plane was used as a reference plane of the skull base.
However, 3D analysis based on NHP as a reference plane is still controversial because of its sensitive reproducibility technologically and it is difficult to standardize [18].
The incisal edge position of the maxillary central incisors was adjusted incisally or gingivally using 0.5-mm increments, with the line between the gingival margin of the central incisors and canines serving as a reference plane.
Comments: in cases of septate or bicorporeal uteri with an internal indentation covering more than 50%% of the uterine cavity, the longitudinal plane at the mid-cavity level is affected by the indentation and it could not be used as a reference plane for measurements.
The bearing curve is the integral of the surface height histogram and plots the percentage of the surface above a reference plane as a function of the depth of that below the highest point of the image.
Complete coronal correction with complete axial derotation of the vertebrae (C + D correction): First, a "reference plane" defined as the plane including three points, one at the central notch of the lamina and two at the center of the upper and lower endplates on the posterior vertebral wall, was determined for each vertebra from T1 to L5.
a Reference plane: 1, horizontal plane (Frankfort horizontal plane); 2, coronal plane; 3, sagittal plane.
Firstly, a reference plane (mostly a frontal cross section of the liver, prior to the stomach) has to be selected and fixed as an anchor.
Instead, the 3-dimensional ROI (3-D ROI) created for the control side is transferred to the right molar using the CEJ as a reproducible reference plane to produce an ROI that is identical for both the left and right molars of each animal.
