Fig. 4From: The use of dedicated long-axis views focused on the left atrium improves the accuracy of left atrial volumes and emptying fraction measured by cardiovascular magnetic resonanceDistribution of the patients in LA size categories according to the method used for LAVmax quantification. The method using a short-axis stack of cine images covering the entire LA, from the atrio-ventricular ring to the base, was considered as reference. Arrows with superimposed numbers show the patients who change category by using either the standard or the LA-focused 4- and 2-chamber cine imagesBack to article page
