3D Anatomy of the Atrioventricular Conduction Axis Reconstructed Relative to Gross Anatomical Landmarks Using Hierarchical Phase-contrast Tomography.

Abstract

Anatomical investigations aiming to delineate the 3D anatomy of the conduction system have been limited. Hierarchical phase-contrast tomography now provides the ability for 3D imaging at the micron-level spatial resolution. In this report, we present 3D reconstructions of the atrioventricular conduction axis within a structurally normal autopsied heart.
