Cardiac imaging planes

Body
was changed:
Cardiac imaging planes are used to orientate imaging in cardiac MRI, and are reconstructed for cardiac CT. There are three main planes, which are centred on a line (using body imaging planes) from the cardiac apex to the middle of the mitral valve (a.k.a., that is the true long axis) of the heart 1,2:
- short axis plane
- perpendicular to true long axis at the level of mid left ventricle
- horizontal long axis plane (four-chamber view)
- horizontal plane perpendicular to short axis
- vertical long axis plane (two-chamber view)
- vertical plane orthogonal to short axis
Further views include 1,2:
- left ventricular outflow view (three-chamber view)
- right ventricular outflow view
- oblique sagittal
- parallel to aortic axis
