Analysis of Myocardial Structure by Computed Tomography

Computed tomography of the heart represents an expansion of the non invasive roentgenological diagnosis of cardiac lesions 1. by the representation of the heart in a horizontal sectional image, free from overlapping effects, with the resulting additional anatomical information; 2. by the visualization of all chambers of the heart in a single examination; 3. by the direct demonstration of the ventricular septum and ventricular myocardium; 4. using ECG-gated cardio-CT, by the non invasive assessment of ventricular wall motion; 5. by the non invasive demonstration of coronary bypass perfusion.
