Translation Notes:

1. Sagittal plane(longitudinal plane): an anatomical plane which divides the body into right and left parts. The plane may be in the center of the body and split it into two halves or away from the midline and split it into unequal parts. Most elements of Irish dancing occur in the sagittal plane.

2. Artifacts: An artifact, or in some cases, known as metal artifact, is a visual artifact in magnetic resonance imaging. It is a feature appearing in an image that is not present in the original object. Many different artifacts can occur during MRI, some affecting the diagnostic quality, while others may be confused with pathology.

3. Magnetic susceptibility artifacts (or just susceptibility artifact): refer to a variety of MRI artifacts that share distortions or local signal change due to local magnetic field inhomogeneities from a variety of compounds.

4. T2 shine-through: refers to high signal on DWI images that is not due to restricted diffusion, but rather to high T2 signal which 'shines through' to the DWI image. T2 shine through occurs because of long T2 decay time in some normal tissue.

5. T2 Washout: is a phenomenon encountered on diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) which results in DWI images (e.g. B = 1000) appearing normal despite abnormal ADC maps.

6. Brachial plexus: a network of nerves formed by the ventral rami of the lower four cervical nerves and first thoracic nerve (C5, C6, C7, C8, and T1). This plexus extends from the spinal cord, through the cervicoaxillary canal in the neck, over the first rib, and into the armpit.
