Computed tomography in paediatric heart disease

The British Journal of Radiology

Abstract

Cardiovascular CT (CCT) is an important imaging modality in congenital and acquired paediatric heart disease. Technological advances have resulted in marked improvements in spatial and temporal resolution of CCT with a concomitant increase in speed of data acquisition and a decrease in radiation dose. This has elevated CCT from being sparingly used to an essential diagnostic tool in the daily multimodality imaging practice alongside echocardiography, cardiovascular MR and invasive angiography. The application of CCT in paediatric congenital and acquired heart disease can be both technically and diagnostically challenging. This review highlights important considerations for current state of the art CCT across the spectrum of heart disease encountered in children.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
