Overview
CT scan
- cardiac CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of cyanotic congenital heart disease. Findings on cardiac CT scan for assessment of the anatomy of congenital heart disease may include:
- Evaluation the position of aorta, pulmonary vein, pulmonary arteries
- Evaluation of the size and volume of cardiac chambers
- Evaluation of ventriculoarterial connection
- Evaluation the connection between upper lob bronchi and pulmonary arteries
- Evaluation of coronary arteries, valves, superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, hepatic veins
- Evaluation of visceral situs
Findings on Chest CT scan for the diagnosis of pulmonary causes of cyanosis may include: **Pneumonia (to view CT Scan features, click here)
- Pulmonary edema (to view CT Scan features, click here)
- Pulmonary embolism (to view CT Scan features, click here)
- Pulmonary hypertension (to view CT Scan features, click here)
