Left Atrium by Echocardiography in Clinical Practice: From Conventional Methods to New Echocardiographic Techniques
Figure 7
Left atrial volumes by LVQ Auto 4D echocardiography. (a) Left atrial full-volume data sets are acquired. (b) After manually initializing one point to identify the mitral valve plane and another point for the centre of LA roof, the program automatically identifies the endocardial surface both in end-systole and in end-diastole. (c) Atrial maximum (max) and minimum (min) volumes are obtained and displayed in curve, in numeric values, and in 3D image (in red).
