title: A new cephalic reference plane for use with magnetic resonance imaging: the chiasmato-commissural plane.
abstract: A cephalic reference plane is described through the chiasmatic notch and the posterior commissure, which is easily identified on mid-sagittal cuts using magnetic resonance imaging. The horizontal cuts so obtained are almost parallel to the lateral fissure and are perpendicular to the axis of the brain stem.
