Comparison of right atrial volume measurements using single-plane area-length and stack-of-short-axis methods: A 3.0 T cardiac magnetic resonance study
The single-plane AL method underestimates RA volumes compared to the SAX method, and the poor agreement between the two techniques suggests they should not be used interchangeably. RA volume measurements should be interpreted using method-specific reference values. Additionally, including the RAA in RA volume quantification-regardless of the method-may improve measurement reproducibility.
