Figure 3.

3D 4-chamber view during diastole (a) and systole (b); determination of LV volumes and total stroke volume (SV t) by post-processing of 3D data set during diastole (c) and systole (d); determination of RV volumes and effective stroke volume (SVe) by post-processing of 3D-data set during diastole (e) and systole (f); RF is calculated by RF[%] = [(SV t − SV e)∕SV t] × 100.
