Having determined the major axis of the row and column, the category of plane can be obtained from a table lookup:
Column |
|
Row |
|
|
RL |
AP |
HF |
RL |
|
TRANSVERSE |
CORONAL |
AP |
TRANSVERSE |
|
SAGITTAL |
HF |
CORONAL |
SAGITTAL |
|
Alternatively, one can obtain a single vector that is the normal to the orientation (cross product of the row and column unit vectors), then find which of the x, y and z components has the maximum absolute value that is above threshold; if x then SAGITTAL, if y then CORONAL, if z then TRANSVERSE; if all of the components are below threshold then the orientation is OBLIQUE.
Since it is also necessary to determine whether or not to flip or rotate the image into the preferred orientation (as specified byDisplaySetPatientorientation(0072,0700))forthecategoryofplane(e.g.,sagittalsarenormallyviewedwithrowdirection posteriorlyandcolumndirectiontowardsthefeet),thecategoricalrowandcolumndirectiontousecanbeobtainedasabove, additional accounting for the sign of the direction cosine, e.g.:
if x < 0 then orientationX = "R" else orientationX = "L"
if y < 0 then orientationY = "A" else orientationY = "P"
if z < 0 then orientationZ = "F" else orientationZ = "H"
if (abs(x) > threshold)
orientation = orientationX
