Explanation

A "2-D study" in the field of medicine refers to a type of examination that provides a flat, two-dimensional image of the body part being studied. This is similar to how a photograph of a person only shows the front view, not the sides or back. These types of studies are often used in medical imaging techniques like X-rays or ultrasounds. They provide valuable information, but unlike three-dimensional studies, they cannot show depth or give a full, rounded picture of the body part.
