plane that contains the left ventricular apex, center of the mitral valve, and center of the aortic valve.

left ventricular outflow view (three-chamber view).

planes containing the long axis and perpendicular to the horizontal long axis viewsĪdditional views have also been defined 1,2:.

vertical long axis (corresponding to the echocardiographic apical 2-chamber plane).planes parallel to that plane containing both the long axis and the "horizontal" line drawn at the mid ventricular level between the center of the left ventricle and the transition between the diaphragmatic and free wall of the right ventricle 6.horizontal long axis view (corresponding to the echocardiographic apical 4-chamber plane).short axis view (corresponding to the echocardiographic parasternal short axis plane).The planes are defined in reference to the long axis of the left ventricle, which is the line that connects the ventricular apex to the center of the mitral valve 4-6: Cardiac imaging planes are standard orientations for displaying the heart on MRI, CT, SPECT, and PET, similar to those used in echocardiography.
