Abstract
The expanding imaging capabilities of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) have made it an important part of the preoperative assessment of the cardiac surgery patient. Ever decreasing imaging times, superior spatial resolution, and the 3-dimensional capabilities of MDCT improve diagnosis and enhance surgical planning. Understanding the imaging advantages of MDCT enable improved outcomes in this important patient population.Entities:
