Advantages:
* Assessment of [[Fontan]] circuit with an injection of contrast into superior vena cava and filling of the pulmonary system
* Provides additional anatomic details compared to echocardiography
* Assessment of [[right ventricle]] and [[left ventricle]] morphology and function
* It is done faster compared to MRI, thus avoiding the need for anesthesia in small children.
* Assessment of vascular [[stenting]] patency
 
Disadvantage:
* Costly
* [[Radiation]] can have long terms side-effect on growing children.

Overview

Computed tomography maybe helpful as a diagnostic tool where echocardiographic findings are inconclusive.

Cardiac CT scan

Common advantages of cardiac CT scan include:[1]

  • Assessment of Fontan circuit with an injection of contrast into superior vena cava and filling of the pulmonary system
  • Assessment of right ventricle and left ventricle morphology and function
  • Assessment of vascular stenting patency
