On the left menu the user can choose one of the 4 standard planes used for cardiac imaging:


Valves: aortic, mitral tricuspid and pulmonary valves.On the menu bar the user can choose the wished groups of anatomical labels (on "Anatomical parts"): The quiz mode makes it possible to evaluate the user's progress. The images are labeled, providing an important medical and anatomical tool. This tool provides access to an MDCT atlas in the 4 usual planes, allowing the user to interactively discover the heart anatomy. Features and a user-friendly interface for the study of the cardiac anatomy were developed with Adobe Animate.Īnatomical structures were labeled according to the Terminologia Anatomica.Īnatomy of the heart : axial slice with chambers, myocardium, pericardium, left and right coronary arteries and other structures labeled.Īnatomy of the human heart and coronaries: how to view anatomical structures Images were reformatted to obtain the usual planes used in cardiac imaging (Ultrasound, MRI): axial, short axis, vertical long axis, horizontal long axis.ĭICOM data archived on a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communicating System) were exported as JPEG images and then post-processed with Adobe Photoshop.

The images were reconstructed using a medium soft-tissue kernel with retrospective ECG gating with 0.75-mm-thick sections. In order to obtain nearly motion-free images, acquisition or reconstruction of data was performed during diastole (70%). In this interactive anatomy atlas of the human heart, the anatomical structures are visible on a contrast material–enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the heart and coronary arteries.Īctually, CT coronary angiography with three-dimensional volume-rendered and multiplanar images displays arterial anatomy similarly to conventional angiography and is becoming a major tool for the study of coronary artery disease (CAD)Ĭross sectional anatomy: Multi–Detector Row CT (MDCT) of the human heartĪ cardiac contrast material–enhanced computed tomography (CT – 64 detectors) was performed on a healthy subject.
