Abstract
To evaluate the clinical usefulness of
multi-detector (16 detectors) spiral
computed tomography (MDCT) and its
reconstructed 3D imaging in demonstrating
cardiac anatomy in patients with congenital
heart disease (CHD). In the past 12 months,
305 cases (male : female = 188 : 117; age
= 1 days ~ 71-year-8-month) with CHD
were analyzed. All MDCT images were
taken at the end-diastolic phase of the
cardiac cycle with intravenous injection of
iodinated contrast medium. 3D
reconstructed EBCT pictures were created
with gradient shading surface rendering. In
compare to the electron beam computed
tomography, MDCT is reliable to well
delineate the hypoplastic pulmonary artery,
anomalous drainage of the pulmonary vein,
where or not the presence of the pulmonary
venous obstruction, abnormal branching of
the coronary artery, associated
tracheobronchial anomalies and stenosis,
abnormal intra-cardiac and adjacent
unusual three-dimensional spatial
relationship. By adding the capability of
three-dimensional demonstration and
virtual reality cardioscopy, MDCT could
show the extremely complex CHD
completely and vividly.
