The Transaxial Orientation Is Superior to Both the Short Axis and Horizontal Long Axis Orientations for Determining Right Ventricular Volume and Ejection Fraction Using Simpson's Method with Cardiac Magnetic Resonance
Figure 1
Stacked cine SSFP end-diastolic images through the heart acquired in (a) TA orientation with a coronal slice reference image, (b) SA orientation with an HLA reference image, and (c) HLA orientation with a midcavity SA reference image. Contours—not shown—were drawn in a manner similar to that depicted by Alfakih et al. [9].
