Segmentation of the right bundle branch. The high resolution (73 × 73 × 73 µm3) micro-CT data from the whole human heart, showing the 3D extent and position of the segmented right bundle branch (red in panel d) on the lateral aspect of the interventricular septum (c,d), as viewed from within the right ventricular cavity. Illustrative long-axis micro-CT sections showing the proximal (a) and distal (b) aspects of the right bundle branch. From the view in (d) a part of the so-called dead-end tract at the anterior/rostral extent of the atrioventricular conduction axis can be identified (purple). The position of the cross-sections (a,b) are shown in the 3D volume rendering in (c). Ao- Aortic root, AVCA- atrioventricular conduction axis, CS- coronary sinus, IVS- interventricular septum, MS- membranous septum, RBB- right bundle branch.
