Overview
Computed tomography can be helpful as a diagnostic tool in conditions where the echocardiographic findings are inconclusive.
Computed tomography
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.
Disadvantage
- Costly
- Radiation can have long terms side-effect on growing children.
