Overview

Cardiac imaging includes echocardiography CT MRI and nuclear techniques. It evaluates structure function and perfusion. It guides management of cardiac disease.

Echocardiography

Echocardiography uses ultrasound to assess cardiac function. It is portable and provides real time hemodynamic information. It is central to heart failure and valve disease evaluation.

Cardiac CT

Cardiac CT assesses coronary anatomy and calcium scoring. It provides non invasive coronary evaluation. It aids in planning interventions and surgery.

Cardiac MRI

Cardiac MRI offers detailed tissue characterization and function assessment. It is useful for cardiomyopathy and myocarditis evaluation. It complements other cardiac imaging modalities.

Imaging for Pediatric Cardiology

Feb

Overview

Pediatric cardiac imaging uses echocardiography MRI and CT to evaluate congenital and acquired heart disease. Modalities are selected to minimize radiation and sedation while providing diagnostic detail. Imaging guides surgical and catheter based interventions.

Echocardiography Role

Echocardiography is the primary modality for structural and functional assessment in children. It provides real time hemodynamic information and guides interventions. Pediatric expertise and tailored probes improve image quality.

Cardiac MRI in Children

Cardiac MRI quantifies volumes function and tissue characterization without radiation. It is useful for complex congenital heart disease and postoperative assessment. Sedation and motion management are important considerations.

CT Applications

CT angiography provides rapid high resolution vascular mapping for surgical planning. Low dose protocols and ECG gating optimize image quality and safety. CT complements other modalities when detailed anatomic mapping is required.
