Measurements of right ventricular volumes in man from single plane cineangiograms. A comparison to the biplane approach. 1977

J Ferlinz

An area-length expression for RV volume determination from single plane cineangiograms has been developed and verified against the biplane volumes with the aid of the RV human casts. A close correlation was found to exist between the two methods (r = 0.93). Ten patients with normal hearts were subsequently studied. Biplane and single plane RV cineangiogrpahic analyses yielded virtually identical results. The single plane expression was equally valid in the end-systolic and the end-diastolic volume analysis.
