Hello,

what does 'L', 'P', 'S', 'I', 'R', 'A' mean in context of dirceton in the json files?

L, R : Left and Right Axis? P, A: Posterior Anterior Axis? S, I: Superior Inferior ?

here a link to image of Main anatomical directions: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomische_Lage-_und_Richtungsbezeichnungen#/media/Datei:Blausen_0019_AnatomicalDirectionalReferences.png

And what is the difference, for example in L instead of R in direction?

Thanks!

Greetings Krekiehn
