title: Cross sectional visualization of the normal heart by the UI Octoson.
abstract: The UI Octoson can provide accurate compound and simple scan cross sectional views of the heart. Sections taken in the transverse, sagittal, and other planes normal and parallel to the long axis of the heart are useful for providing full information that may be obtained by the examination. The views allow the visualization and measurement of most major structures of the heart, giving a more complete description of the geometry of the heart.
