True axial, coronal and sagittal views of the cardiac apex. The first step is identifying the cardiac apex on the standard axial (left), coronal (middle), and sagittal (right) views, and marking the apex with the cross-hair.
the cardiac apex is identified. After windowing and leveling the data to allow for identification of the ventricular walls and the valve planes, the cardiac apex is marked with a cross-hair on the image post-processing tool in the true axial, sagittal, and coronal planes (Figure 1). It is essential to accurately identify landmarks such as the apex, a focal point for the reformations. Misidentification will lead to off axis views and inaccurate measurements.
