A member asked:
If i experience disc sypmtoms on my left side, then the mri axial would be read as "right side" correct?

Viewing from front: Right side is right side and left side is left side, when viewing MRI and ct by convention the right side is toward viewers left and left side is toward viewers right. It is as if viewing patient anteriorly or looking directly face to face to patient.
