ABSTRACT
Because of the oblique position of the cardiovascular structures in the chest, cardiovascular imaging relies on defined image planes oblique to the body axes. The following paragraph and the accompanying images introduce the most common standard oblique planes used to visualize cardiac structures19. The left and right cardiac chambers are typically visualized in oblique, two-chamber, three-chamber, fourchamber, and short axis-views (Figure 3). The two-chamber view is comparable to
