Cardiomyopathy: appearances on ECG-gated 64-detector row computed tomography

Multi-detector row cardiac computed tomography (MDCT) with its high spatial and temporal resolution now has an established clinical role in cardiac imaging. The present review illustrates the MDCT appearances of cardiomyopathy, with reference to the normal myocardium, using multi-planar, near-isotro...

Description
Summary:Multi-detector row cardiac computed tomography (MDCT) with its high spatial and temporal resolution now has an established clinical role in cardiac imaging. The present review illustrates the MDCT appearances of cardiomyopathy, with reference to the normal myocardium, using multi-planar, near-isotropic imaging, three-dimensional volume rendering, and ECG-gated multi-phasic functional imaging software capabilities of 64-MDCT. MRI and echocardiographic correlations are also provided where appropriate.
