MR and CT imaging of the pediatric patient with structural heart disease

Frandics P Chan. Semin Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2008 Winter.

Abstract

Cardiac MRI and CT are imaging modalities increasingly employed in the diagnosis and management of structural heart disease. They are powerful imaging tools that have individual strengths and weaknesses. Rational choice between MRI and CT should be based on a sound understanding of these issues. Management guidelines that incorporate the use of MRI and CT are currently being developed, and their utilizations are expected to grow rapidly in the future.
