CT visualizes cardiac chambers and pathology; leaves open its diagnostic role pending prospective validation.
Can computed tomography (CT) effectively visualize cardiac structures and pathology in normal patients and those with known cardiac disease?
This early study demonstrates the feasibility and potential value of using CT scanning to visualize cardiac anatomy and detect intracardiac pathology.
Guthaner et al. (1979) studied this question.
