DUS Gated Cine Image in End-Diastole and End-Systole. DUS-gated bSSFP 4-chamber cine views of a fetus (gestational week 35) in end-diastole (left) and end-systole (right) illustrating the foramen ovale (white dashed arrow) as a discontinuity of the atrial septum (* = left ventricle). Images demonstrate clear differentiation of the hypointense myocardium from the hyperintense ventricular blood and lung, respectively. Myocardial thickening can be noticed in end-systolic images
