Is this dextrocardia or dextrocardia with situs inversus?
Dextrocardia with situs inversus. Look where the liver shadow is.

Can you spot all the abnormalities.
Dextrocardia and situs inversus with atrial septal defect (ASD).
Case Discussion
Patient underwent cardiac catheterization and an Amplatzer ASD occluder device placement.
MRI helped in showing the ASD size, location and a left to right shunt fraction calculation of 1.5:1.
It is unusual to have cardiac anomalies in cases of dextrocardia with situs inversus.
