Overview

CT scans may be helpful in giving some exact or more details of the tricuspid valve than of radiographic findings of tricuspid stenosis.

CT scan

• CT scan may be helpful in giving some exact or more details than of radiographic findings of tricuspid stenosis.

• CT scan may be helpful in the tricuspid stenosis by providing in greater details of the following:
  • Pre-surgical planning
  • Post-surgical follow-up
  • Good spatial resolution
  • Good temporal resolutions
  • Multiplanar reconstruction capability with isotropic resolution
  • Calcifications
  • Localization of a mass on the valve
  • Evaluation of associated extracardiac disorders

Tricuspid annulus. (a) Short-axis CT image of the tricuspid annulus,which is oval shaped and non-planar, with the septal leaflet attached in an oblique plane to the septum. The posterolateral is the lowest portion and the anteroseptal the highest portion of the annulus. (b) Measurement of the tricuspid annulus in CT, including circumference and diameters.
