Fig. 5From: Quantification of left ventricular volumes and function in anesthetized beagles using real-time three-dimensional echocardiography: 4D-TomTec™ analysis versus 4D-AutLVQ™ analysis in comparison with cardiac magnetic resonance imagingRepresentative CMRI analysis of the end-diastolic volume of the left ventricle of a healthy beagle. Manual contouring of the LV epi- and endocardial borders was done in each short-axis slice in end-diastole as well as in end-systole. Papillary muscles were included in the LV volume. Slices at the level of the heart base were included if they were surrounded by 50 % or more of ventricular myocardiumBack to article page
