May 23, 2025 · Patient position coupled with probe placement and orientation for optimal parasternal long-axis (PLAX) and parasternal short-axis (PSAX) views

The first Parasternal Short Axis view on echocardiography you should focus on is the Mid-Papillary level. The Mid-Papillary level gives you information regarding overall ejection fraction, right ventricular …

Oct 18, 2021 · The PSAX views are obtained by rotating the transducer 90 degrees clockwise from the PLAX view. The marker is now pointing towards the left shoulder (2 o’clock) and the beam is …

Rotate the probe 90 degrees clockwise from the parasternal long axis. The transducer marker (arrow) should be facing the left shoulder now. There are multiple levels of short axis images depending on …

As a general rule of thumb the parasternal short axis (PSAX) mitral view is captured with the transducer perpendicular to the chest wall. Sweeping the transducer medially and superiorly will capture the …

Image 3 (red labels) shows a normal parasternal short axis at the base of the heart.

The parasternal short axis - plenty of views and endless information about all the heart valves & chambers.

The standard parasternal short-axis view is obtained with the image plane at the level of the papillary muscles. Visualization of the papillary muscles should ensure a true transverse section through the …

Mar 22, 2022 · Parasternal short axis (PSAX) view is the cross-sectional view of the heart. The image acquisition, sonographic anatomy and the key pathologies seen in this view are discussed below.
