Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Neonates With Congenital Cardiovascular Disease

This article discusses the design and application of these imaging techniques to the newborn, with emphasis on safety, efficacy, and image quality. Understanding the capabilities and limitations of these techniques is crucial for making rational choices among imaging options based on sound risk and benefit considerations. Important examples of congenital heart lesions have been illustrated with 3-dimensional reconstruction from computed tomography and magnetic resonance images.
