sectored
Split into wedges
Sectored describes something divided into sectors—distinct sections or zones.
The term appears most often in technical contexts: a sectored antenna covers specific angular ranges rather than broadcasting in all directions; a sectored disk has been formatted into data storage regions.
In medical imaging, a sectored scan examines the body in pie-shaped slices radiating from a single point.
