Overview
A CT scan is not commonly used for the diagnosis of cardiac tamponade as it is effectively diagnosed based on clinical features and echocardiography. Findings on CT include [Superior vena cava]] andInferior vena cava enlargement, Hepatic and renal vein enlargment, periportal edema, reflux of contrast material, collapse of the right atrium, Pericardial thickening.
CT scan
- CT scan provides pivotal information about the underlying cause of pericardial effusion based on attenuation measurements of collection.[1][2][3][4][5]
- The following are the findings on CT scan:
- Superior vena cava andInferior vena cava enlargement
- Hepatic and renal vein enlargment
- Periportal edema
- Reflux of contrast material
- Compression of coronary sinus
- Angulation of interventricular septum
- Pericardial thickening
- Collapse of the right atrium
- Aortic blood contrast level
