Purpose or Case Report: To provide a working knowledge of normal cardiac anatomy and a systematic guide to findings in common and uncommon congenital heart disease as seen on cardiac CTA.
Methods & Materials: A retrospective review of congenital cardiac anomalies was performed. A series of cardiac CT angiography cases with identified presurgical congenital heart disease was collected for review and presentation.
Results: Cardiac CTA findings and distinguishing imaging features of atrial and ventricular septal defect, coarctation of the aorta, transposition of the great vessels, double aortic arch, hypoplastic left heart, tetralogy of fallot, truncus arteriosus, anomalous coronary arteries and total anomalous pulmonary venous return are discussed.
Conclusions: This educational exhibit increases pediatric radiologists and trainees exposure to basic pediatric cardiovascular imaging and provides a basic framework for identification and interpretation of cardiac and extracardiac CT angiographic findings of congenital heart disease.
