Imaging Diagnosis of Right Ventricle Involvement in Chagas Cardiomyopathy

Figure 6

Volumetric assessment of the RV using CMR. Image acquired from cine-resonance using pulse sequences SSFP (Steady-State Free Precession), showing the tomographic slicing of RV long-axis and limiting adjustments to transversal views from base to apex ((a) and (b)). Yellow lines shows delineation of endocardial borders of RV (c) to further calculation of volumes.
