Sagittal sections divide the brain parallel to the midline, separating it into left and right hemispheres. Coronal sections divide the brain into front and back sections, while horizontal (or transverse) sections divide it into upper and lower sections. Axial sections are a type of horizontal section that are specifically taken perpendicular to the long axis of the body or structure being imaged.
