Overview

Computed tomography can be helpful as a diagnostic tool in conditions where the echocardiographic findings are inconclusive.

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
