Accuracy of large vessel flow evaluation performed by technologists in patients with congenital heart disease using cardiac MRI
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Adults with complex congenital heart disease, such as Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) require annual follow up and accurate, detailed physiological evaluation by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). This is time consuming for the reporting radiologist with a large proportion of time taken up by multi-vessel flow analysis of the aorta and central pulmonary arteries. Technologists can significantly contribute to the clinical workflow of a busy cardiac imaging service by performing flow analysis thus reducing radiologist reporting time.

متن کاملRight ventricular Hemodynamic Alteration after Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Children with Congenital Heart Disease
Introduction: In patients who underwent surgery to repair Tetralogy of Fallot, right ventricular dilation from pulmonary regurgitation may be result in right ventricular failure, arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. Hence, pulmonary valve replacement may be necessary to reduce right ventricular volume overload. The aim of present study was to assess the effects of pulmonary valve replacement on rig...
