From: Situs inversus totalis with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries: insights from cardiac MRI

Figure 2

Situs inversus in CMRI. 1.5 T MRI (Magnetom Symphony, Siemens, Healthcare sector, Erlangen, Germany) after application of contrast medium. A: Four-chamber-view with a morphologic right and systemic ventricle (with hypertrophic trabecular structures) as well as a small smoother sub-pulmonary ventricle on the left side (white arrows). B: A dilated pulmonary artery (white arrow) is detected (A). C: Short axis or two-chamber-view (white arrows) demonstrating the cardiac ventricular anatomy of the two ventricles. A D- shaped septum bulging from the systemic right ventricle towards the morphological left ventricle connecting to the pulmonary circulation can be appreciated. D: The outflow of the aortic arch is shown in this image, coming from the functional left ventricle, morphological (original) right ventricle. E: The three-dimensional reconstruction shows the left-sided aorta and right-sided pulmonary trunk (white arrows). F: This image demonstrates the dilated pulmonary trunk and proximal pulmonary arteries in the initial Haste-sequences.
