Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical value of MRI in evaluating the cardiac structures and function of congenital heart diseases.Methods Fifteen cases with surgically proved different types of CHD were examined by the techniques of magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) and echocardiography (ECG).The results were compared to determine their values in showing the abnormalities of cardiac structures and function.Results In 15 cases,20 malformations were diagnosed correctly by MRI within 24 abnormalities confirmed by operation(20/24),21 by ECG (21/24).MRI was better than ECG in displaying great vascular diseases, while ECG was better in valvular diseases.There was no significant difference between MRI and ECG in examining cardiac function.Conclusion MRI can clearly show the abnormalities of cardiac anatomy and function.
