Overview
Computed tomography can be helpful as a diagnostic tool in conditions where the echocardiographic findings are inconclusive.
CT
- The radiologic appearance of TAPVC varies according to the site of abnormal venous drainage and whether the flow is obstructed.[1]
- The structure in which the anomalous vein terminates appears dilated; termination at the level of the coronary sinus, superior vena cava, or azygos vein leads to dilatation of that structure and produces characteristic abnormalities in the imaging appearance.
- Computed tomography (CT) can be used as a diagnostic modality in congenital heart diseases.

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.
