Overview
CT scan
The
systematically evaluate the aorta, pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, cardiac chambers and ventriculoarterial connection, relationship between the upper lobe bronchi and pulmonary arteries, coronary artery, valves, systemic veins (superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, hepatic veins), and visceral situs with a step-by-step approach. This approach may be helpful in understanding the anatomy of the cardiovascular system in CHD patients. CT has both advantages and disadvantages in evaluating patients with CHD. Nevertheless, it is useful in this setting, and radiologists who perform CT in young children with CHD should be familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of CT and with the normal anatomy and typical pathologic conditions in affected patients
- There are no CT scan findings associated with cyanosis caused by cardiovascular causes. Its is considered as supplementary investigation.[1]However, a CT scan may be helpful in differentiating from pulmonary causes, which include:
