Abstract

Computed Tomography (CT) plays an important role in the evaluation of diseases of the right heart, both congenital and acquired. Advantages of CT include its wide availability, rapid turnaround time, good spatial and temporal resolutions, multi-planar reconstruction capabilities and wide field-of-view. Disadvantages of CT include the use of potentially nephrotoxic contrast media and ionizing radiation. In this chapter, we review the comprehensive role of CT in the evaluation of right heart, including techniques, protocols and pathologies.
