Overview
Computed tomography can be helpful as a diagnostic tool in conditions where the echocardiographic findings are inconclusive.
CT
Computed tomography (CT) can be used as a diagnostic modality in congenital heart diseases. [1] [2] [3]
Advantages
- Provides additional anatomic details compared to echocardiography.
- It is done faster compared to MRI, thus avoiding the need for anesthesia in small children.
Disadvantages
- Costly
- Radiation can have long terms side-effect on growing children.
