Abstract:
CT angiography is now an accepted application of contemporary multidetector row CT. Faster scanning, thinner slices, and improvement in intravenous contrast enhancement are benefits that have offered unique opportunities for pediatric thoracic angiographic evaluation, and often obviate routine angiography. Pediatric CT angiography can be challenging but adherence to a relatively straightforward step-by-step method, emphasizing patient preparation and technical familiarity, can result in excellent examinations even in the smallest infants and most complex clinical scenarios.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
