Step 2: detailed reconstruction of right ventricle and septum.
Panel A: Exploiting the TV tags, with anterior flection the ICE
catheter is advanced into the RV at basal level with the beam facing
downward. With gentle movements of the probe other RV contours are
acquired to fill the RV volume. It is possible at this level to
distinguish intracavitary structures (i.e. papillary muscles, moderator
band). Panel B: With serial clockwise rotations LV is displayed
and reconstructed with the possibility to reconstruct also the papillary
anatomy (not the aim of this paper). TV: tricuspid valve, RV: right
ventricle, LV: left ventricle, PA: pulmonary artery.
