Value of MDCT as a non- invasive modality in evaluation of pediatric congenital cardiovascular anomalies

Conclusion The main added value of cardiac MDCT to TTE is the precise illustration of the extracardiac anatomic structures, without adding significant information on intracardiac abnormalities. Using MDCT with TTE has improved the diagnostic accuracy thus obviating the need for diagnostic cardiac catheterization especially in critically ill patients.
