Computed tomography (CT) of the heart offers a new non-invasive imaging method. CT effectively visualizes cardiac structures, aiding in diagnosing various heart conditions like tumors, hypertrophy, and aneurysms.

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Radiology
Medical Imaging

Background:

Conventional roentgenography has limitations in visualizing cardiac structures.
Advancements in imaging technology are crucial for non-invasive cardiac diagnostics.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate computed tomography (CT) of the heart as a novel non-invasive roentgenographic technique.
To compare CT findings with conventional roentgenography.
To establish reasonable indications for cardiac CT based on initial investigations.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of the first 200 cardiac investigations using computed tomography.
Comparison of CT imaging results with conventional roentgenogram findings.
Identification and documentation of typical cardiac pathologies visualized by CT.

Main Results:

Computed tomography of the heart is demonstrated as a viable non-invasive imaging modality.
CT enables accurate calculation of heart chamber size and volume.
CT effectively visualizes intracavitary lesions, ventricular wall/septal thickness, aneurysms, and pericardial abnormalities.

Conclusions:

Cardiac CT is a valuable non-invasive tool for diagnosing a range of cardiac conditions.
Indications for cardiac CT include assessing chamber dimensions, detecting intracavitary masses, evaluating myocardial/septal abnormalities, and identifying aneurysms and pericardial diseases.
