A detailed 3D model of the rabbit right atrium including the sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node, surrounding blood vessels and valves

Abstract

We used multiple techniques to generate a three-dimensional anatomical model of the rabbit right atrium with the sinoatrial node (SAN) and atrioventricular node (AVN). The model includes the right atrium, SAN, AVN, part of right ventricle, aorta with aortic valve, superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, coronary sinus, tricuspid valve, part of mitral valve, fossa ovalis and central fibrous body. The tendon of Todaro and right and left sinoatrial ring bundles were highlighted as landmarks
