Step 6 - Four-Chambers:
- Choose one of the short axis images
just above the valve plane that shows a large circular LV and a semilunar
RV.
- Place your cursor or slice center marker
in the exact center of the LV.
|
| |
|
- Angle the slice to go through the furthest corner of
the RV. This should be perpendicular to the ventricular septum.
-
Verify that this slice goes through
both ventricles and both atria by paging through all of the short
axis image.

|
Step 7 - Two Chambers:
- From the 4-chamber image, position a slice to go through
the middle of the mitral valve to the apex.
- From the same short axis image used in step 6 above,
position a slice though the center of the LV and perpendicular to the
prescription for the 4-chamber plane.
