Overview
There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name].
OR
[Location] CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on CT scan suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
OR
There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name]. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
CT scan
There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name].
OR
Cardiac CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of myocarditis.
Cardiac CT scan can be used in:
- Diagnosis of acute myocarditis ( subepicardial late iodine enhancement)
- Exclusion of acute coronoray syndrome by CT angiography
- Alternative diagnostic tool in patients with CMR contraindication
- [Finding 3]

tomographyA recent study has shown the potential value of cardiac CT as an alternative to CMR for tissue characterization based on late iodine enhancement [84]. This study showed spectral CT to have good accuracy in the evaluation of inflamed myocardium in acute myocarditis, with typically subepicardial late iodine enhancement (Fig. 3), enabling acute coronary syndrome to be ruled out with coronary CTangiography during the same examination.
