Overview
Computed tomography can be helpful as a diagnostic tool in conditions where the 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
