Craniocaudal or cranial caudad length?

The left kidney measures 13.9 in craniocaudal length and 4.0 x 4.9 cm in

cross-sectional dimension.

Just my $0.02, but I think I'd trancribe it as cranial to caudad since it is

a direction. Hope this helps

I believe he is really saying cranial caudad not caudal. I cannot reference

craniocaudad, only cranial caudad. In this case what is it? Craniocaudal or

cranial caudad length?

The left kidney measures 13.9 in craniocaudal length and 4.0 x 4.9 cm in

cross-sectional dimension.
