Cover image: 3DCG models for each case. For all cases, the contrast CT scans were 0.5 mm-thick slices and were made within 10 min under spontaneous breathing. Only in the second case was the electrocardiogram synchronized, without any heart-rate controls. (a–b) Case 1. A 1-day-old boy who weighed 2,860 g and was 49 cm tall. (a) Left-anterior oblique overview of the heart. (b) Cross section in case 1. The VSD was located between the left ventricle (LV) and the right ventricle (RV). The asterisk shows the outflow conus muscular portion interrupting the route from the LV to the aorta (Ao) through VSD. (c–d) Case 2. A 2-year-old boy who weighed 8.3 kg and was 73 cm tall. (c) Cross section on the diastole along the long axis of the LVOT. The LVOT is narrowed by a subaortic mass projecting from the interventricular septum. (d) Cross section on the systole. Unlike in the diastole, LVOT is widened. Case 3: a 2-day-old boy who weighed 2,626 g and was 50 cm tall. (e) Cross section seen from lower behind. Looking through the LV cavity, VSD locates close to the outflow tract (broken line). (f) Cross section seen from the right upper corner. Looking from the right atrial cavity (RA), VSD is recognized through the tricuspid valve annulus (TV). This mimics the intra-operative surgeon's view. All letters and broken lines were added to the original images. See A three-dimensional computer graphics tool for congenital heart diseases by Nogimori et al. in pages 738–740. Article link here
