Overview
Computed tomography can be helpful as a diagnostic tool in conditions where the echocardiographic findings are inconclusive. It shows inferior displacement of tricuspid valve leaflets with enlargement of the right atrium and enlargement and dysfunction of the right ventricle.
CT in Ebstein's Anomaly
Findings
Inferior displacement of tricuspid valve leaflets with enlargement of the right atrium and enlargement and dysfunction of the right ventricle.[1][2][3][4]
Advantages
- Provides additional anatomic details compared to echocardiography
- It is done faster compared to MRI, thus avoiding the need for anesthesia in small children
Disadvantages
- Costly
- Radiation can have long terms side-effect on growing children
