Abstract:
The fast scanning time and exceptional resolution of 64-slice multidetector computed tomography have expanded the role of imaging of congenital cardiac anomalies. These disorders involve complex cardiac configurations and require thorough evaluation of the entire cardiopulmonary system. Interactive interpretation of the multidetector computed tomographic volume with multiplanar postprocessing tools is essential for interpretation and display. This case report describes the utility of 3-dimensional volume rendering in the assessment of a patient with asymptomatic cor triatriatum.

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...

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...
