Abstract:
With rapid advancements in imaging technology, cardiac computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging are increasingly being used for anatomic evaluation, functional assessment, and pathologic diagnosis of the pulmonary valve and right ventricle. MR imaging is especially helpful in evaluating postoperative pulmonary valve function and grading of pulmonary regurgitation. On the other hand, CT has the advantage of high-resolution isovolumetric whole-chest coverage and is able to depict anatomic detail of the pulmonary valve, perivalvular structures, and pulmonary artery branches.

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...
