Bracketed letters along pixel directions (e.g. [LP]) |
|
indicate the pixel row and column directions. |
|
Since the major direction of the transverse plane is right-to-left (or anterior-to-posterior), the first letter of the combined direction will indicate this. For example, RH - moving right also moves towards the head.
