Plain chest radiography of congenital heart disease in adults
Abstract:
The plain chest radiograph can be an invaluable aid in the diagnosis of congenital heart disease in adults. Evaluation of the chest radiograph is made simpler and more accurate by the use of a systematic approach based on physiology. In many instances, a definitive diagnosis can be made; in others, only a differential diagnosis can be arrived at. The majority of adults with congenital heart disease will have some telltale abnormality on the chest radiograph that will occasionally furnish the first clue to the presence of a congenital anomaly.

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...

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...
