LONGITUDINAL /
SAGITTAL VIEWS OF THE OUTFLOW TRACTS |
This view is obtained by continuing to rotate the transducer from the long-axis view of the left ventricle to an almost sagittal view of the fetus. This results in the "hockey stick" appearance of the pulmonary artery - ductus outflow tract.
Structures demonstrated on this view include:
- Right ventricular outflow tract.
- Pulmonary valve.
- Main pulmonary artery.
- Ductus arteriosus.
