Spine Posterior coronal plane

---

Posterior coronal plane of the fetus demonstrating the spine, scapula, and ribcage. This plane is helpful when spinal deformities are suspected.

Spine-vertebral body Spine completely seen in one view, no interruption, no deformities, vertebral bodies ossified after 12 weeks
Ribs scapulae- Ribs visualized, symmetrical, scapulae visualized Skin over the spine- Intact skin covering the spine, no irregular shape
