Italian term or phrase: orientate oppotunamente nei tre piani ortogonali
Just wanted to check my translation of this (it sounds a bit wordy and odd):

Investigation carried out using SE, FFE and STIR with T1- and T2-weighted sequences ***correctly orientated in the three orthogonal planes***.

Cheers!

English translation:suitably oriented in the three orthogonal planes
Explanation:
"Orientated" is UK English, "oriented" is USA English. This second form, as far as I know, is more widely used, much to the dismay of my British friends...

I certainly did not intend imparting lessons to anybody. The intention is always and exclusively to help a colleague in a temporary "impasse", as the French like to say. Thank you!
