The phrase "axial cut" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to anatomy, engineering, or imaging techniques where a cut or section is made along the axis of an object or structure.
Example: "The MRI scan revealed an axial cut of the brain, allowing the doctors to examine the internal structures in detail."
Alternatives: "longitudinal section" or "cross-sectional cut".
The axial cut that best demonstrated the radial tuberosity was then used as a reference marker to determine the angular location of the fracture (Fig. 2a).
The center of rotation for each cut was defined as the center of a fitted circle applied on the axial cut.
e Axial cut represented progressive large tumor widening and splaying the arteries of the circle of Willis and the cerebral peduncles.
Open image in new window Fig. 2 Axial cut of the proximal humerus at the level of the distal bicipital groove.
The measurements were taken by superposing the axial cut of the proximal humerus, at the level of the distal bicipital groove, and the cut at the top of the PM insertion.
The axial cut that best revealed the largest diameter of the intact portion of the radial head and associated fracture defect was used to quantify the fracture (Fig. 1).
The axial cuts at 1-mm intervals were reconstructed into 3-mm cross sections (para-axial).
The axial cuts accurately locate depressed articular fragments and allow planning for access [10, 11] (Fig. 4).
Cone-beam computed tomography (I-CAT™) was used for the analysis of the maxillary sinus (coronal and axial cuts of 1.0 mm in thickness).
Whilst finely separated axial cuts (3 mm) and sagittal and coronal reformats help in surgical planning, they do not substantially add to the classification of the injury.
The axial cuts at the level of the plafond accurately define fracture plane orientation, whilst sagittal and coronal reformatting allows a full assessment of fracture morphology.
