Explanation

"Sequential coronal" in a medical document refers to a series of images taken of the body from a front-facing perspective. Imagine slicing the body into vertical sections from the front to the back, like slicing a loaf of bread. These slices are then photographed or scanned one after the other in a sequence, providing a detailed view of the body's internal structures. This method is often used in medical imaging techniques like MRI or CT scans.
