Abstract

The different factors involved in the choice of the best cardiovascular ă imaging examination for pediatric patients are justification, radiation ă protection, sedation, resolutions (spatial and contrast), morphology or ă function, intervention and contrast enhancement. Computed tomography is ă preferable for all coronary artery conditions, any arterial or venous ă abnormalities in newborns and infants and in the preoperative assessment ă for tetralogy of Fallot. Magnetic resonance imaging is used for any ă tumoral or functional assessment, cardiomyopathy or arrhythmia or if the ă child's participation and/or size of the structures being examined ă allows using this technique.
