Aortic Valve Morphology (Parasternal Short Axis) : 41
Coronary Artery Origins (Parasternal Long Axis): 42
Parasternal Short Axis at the level of the mitral valve: 43
Pulmonary arteries view: 44
Position the probe slightly superior and coronal in the left chest
Pant leg view of the pulmonary arteries.
Ductal View: 45
High left parasternal window with notch at 12-1 o’clock
Great image of the PDA entering the aorta
Ductal View: 46
You can measure the full length of the PDA. You can measure the aortic end and the pulmonary end.
The pulmonary end and the aortic end can have quite different measurements
The duct tends to close from the pulmonary end to the aortic end
Ductal View: 47+48
Don’t really understand these images nor the lecturer’s points. Need to review with a knowledgeable examiner.
