In the top panel, the yellow square highlights the region showing the top and bottom walls of the left atrium as bright, horizontal lines. Following injection, a dark spot can be seen in between the top and bottom walls of the left atrium, confirming that embolization was successful (see yellow square in the bottom panel).
