Case 3: The Two Chamber View in a normal volunteer (Back to Indications for Cardiovascular MRI)
Double oblique imaging plane: Anterior chest wall on image left, back toward lower right, head toward upper right. This view cuts through the left ventricle, mitral valve, and the left atrium. By definition, it misses the right-sided chambers. Thus, it is typically close to perpendicular to the 4 chamber view. Again useful for LV function, it specifically reveals the anterior and inferior walls which correspond to the perfusion territory of the left anterior descending and the posterior descending coronary arteries.
