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.
CT scan
Findings
- Pericardial effusion
- Distension of the vena cavae and hepatic veins
- Collapse of the right sided cardiac chambers
- Interventricular septum shifts towards the left (paradoxical septal motion)
