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.
