Abstract

MR imaging has been shown to be accurate in the diagnosis and follow-up of congenital abnormalities of the heart and great vessels in infants and children [1-3]. Although echocardiology, in many cases, remains the primary imaging technique in congenital heart disease, MR imaging is a useful adjunct [1-3]. The advantages of MR imaging include a wide field of view and multiplanar capabilities [1-3]. Echocardiology is often suboptimal in evaluating the superior mediastinum because of the narrow imaging window [3]. This fact is especially true in patients after surgery and in older children. Therefore, MR imaging often plays a role in the evaluation of the great vessels.

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.
