| Case 2: The Four
Chamber View in a normal volunteer (Back
to Indications for Cardiovascular MRI)
Double oblique imaging plane: the subject’s right &
anterior appears on the image left, subject’s left &
back appear generally on the right of the image
This view is particularly easy to see the relationship
in size between the various cardiac chambers. It also
provides an overview of LV and RV function, mitral and
tricuspid abnormalities, and is used to detect wall
motion abnormalities in the septum, apex, and lateral
wall.
