Objective:
The right ventricle is often overlooked on chest and even cardiac MDCT studies. This article will review the normal anatomy of the right ventricle on MDCT and the signs of its functional alterations.
Conclusion:
MDCT signs of right ventricular dysfunction should be known and checked in relevant cases, such as pulmonary embolism in particular, and in any disease that affects both the structure and function of the lungs in general.
