Can multidetector CT depict diagnostic findings like septal bounce in constrictive pericarditis?
Multidetector cardiac CT is capable of evaluating pericardial pathology, including dynamic findings like diastolic septal bounce in constrictive pericarditis.
Ghersin et al. (2004) conducted a case report in Constrictive pericarditis (n=1). Sixteen-slice multidetector CT was evaluated on Diagnostic findings including dynamic evaluation of interventricular septal motion. Sixteen-slice multidetector CT successfully depicted diagnostic findings of constrictive pericarditis, including a diastolic septal bounce, in a pediatric patient.
