FIGURE 6. Sample Roadmap Images Included in a Report.
We find it helpful to post these images in the procedure room. (A) Axial thin slice at the crossing target (yellow arrow). (B) Sagittal thick slice reconstruction along the vertebral column to indicate the crossing target. (C) En face view of the calcium-free target window on the aorta as viewed from the cava. (D) Three-dimensional surface rendering with translucent bony landmarks. Coronal oblique views (rotated to match fluoroscopy projection angle) depicting the crossing target with (E) thin-slice depiction, (F) thicker slice depiction (slice thickness = aortic thickness) to convey aortic calcification burden, and (G) thickest slice to demonstrate calcification in relation to the spine and pelvis to mimic the expected fluoroscopy pattern during the procedure.
