3 Figure 2 An example of clinically determined acoustic windows in 4 body positions (in red with the patient lying supine; in green with 30° right tilt; in yellow with 30° left tilt; in purple with 30° upright tilt) superimposed on the CT-determined acoustic window (in light blue with the patient lying supine and during end inspiration) on 3D reconstruction CT of the thorax. 3D = three-dimensional; CT = computed tomography.

4 Figure 3 An example of changes in acoustic windows obtained by computed tomography of the thorax with various body positioning and respiratory phrases. A: Acoustic window in green when the patient was lying supine and during end inspiration. B: Acoustic window in red during end inspiration when the patient was lying on the right side. C: Acoustic window in black during end expiration when the patient was lying on the right side. Heart Rhythm 2009 6, DOI: ( /j.hrthm ) Copyright © 2009 Heart Rhythm Society Terms and Conditions
