- The subcostal line corresponds to the L3 vertebrae.
- The subcostal plane refers to a horizontal (or transverse) plane which lies just below the level of the costal margin, i.e., connecting the 10th costal cartilages of right and left sides with each other.
- Posteriorly, the position of subcostal plane equates to the body of the third lumbar (L3) vertebrae.
