From: Spatial orientation of cross-sectional images of coronary arteries: point of view in intracoronary imaging

Figure 3

Results. A. Asymmetric phantom seen from the proximal point of view. B. Mirror image of A illustrating the distal point of view. C. Volcano IVUS showing the one wire at 8 o'clock and the two wires at 4 o'clock. D. Boston Scientific IVUS showing the one wire at 11 o'clock and the two wires at 7 o'clock. D. Light Lab OCT showing the one wire at 4 o'clock and the two wires at 12 o'clock. Rotation will make the images in C, D, and E superimposable on A but not on B (the mirror image), i.e., the cross-sectionel images displayed by the three intravascular imaging methods are viewed from the proximal point of view.
