Fig. 8

The 4D surface rendered image of tricuspid valve obtained from reconstruction of RT 4D volume imaging in a fetus with Ebstein’s anomaly. The view direction was set from the apex toward the bottom of the heart. The 4D rendered images showed the three leaflets of the tricuspid valve are not at the same annulus level. The anterior leaflet was longer while the septal and posterior leaflets were both shorter in size and moved from the tricuspid annulus down to the ventricular septum and right ventricular wall respectively (indicated by arrows). ATL, anterior tricuspid leaflet; LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle; PTL, posterior tricuspid leaflet; RA, right atrium; RV, right ventricle; STL, septal tricuspid leaflet
