4D Auto LVQ

(4D Auto LVQ – cont.)

4. If needed, align the center

of the left ventricle to the
vertical lines in the apical
views with the rotary knobs
or using the trackball

(4D Auto LVQ – cont.)

5. Select

EDV (End Diastolic Volume) In each apical view, place three points

at the endocardial border, two at the mitral annulus and one at the apex

Apical points
should be on the
same line

Basal points should be at ”corners” between atrio-ventricular plane and
LV wall
