Abstract:
Improved resolution of cardiovascular imaging techniques allows better assessment of the morphology of cardiovascular malformations. Multi-slice computer tomography with three-dimensional reconstruction provides both static and dynamic images with high temporal and spatial resolution. We present a three-dimensional reconstruction of scimitar syndrome using multi-slice computer tomography.

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...
