Abstract
Cranially to the transverse view of the ductal arch, the transverse view of the aortic arch is obtained. The level of this section is shown in Figures 11.1, 11.2. These images illustrate that when the plane of this section is truly horizontal, the arterial duct and the pulmonary artery are no longer visible because they are lying in an inferior plane.
