Fig.9.3. Reconstructed two-dimensional images of the thyroid gland. Normal. A - right lateral view - projection on the sagittal plane. B - anterior view - projection on the frontal plane. C - posterior view - projection on the fron-tal plane. The images are 80% of the scale 1:1. Horizontal lines in fig.9.3.B show the level of transverse section. Num-bers in rectangular frame indicate the sections included in fig.9.2.
