Upper left
Since a quadrant is the upper or lower, right or left side of a specific place or thing, then it can be long and narrow, or short and wide. For example, when a physician examines a person's abdomen, the way he defines which part of the abdomen to which he is referring, it is charted (documented) as the "upper right quadrant", which means the upper half, on the right side of the abdomen. The same could apply to a parcel of land. The lower left quadrant of a piece of land would be the lower left section of the land, which can be any shape, as well. Quad means "four", therefore, quadrant means a "one fourth" section of a place or thing, and can be any shape or size.
LUQ is the abbreviation for left upper quadrant.
