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