Echo planar imaging of an infant with pectus excavatum.
Echo planar imaging has enabled us to image safely and without sedation the thorax of an infant with pectus excavatum deformity. The heart was displaced into the left side of the thorax, and the right lung was calculated to be 1.6 times larger than the left lung.
