Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the MRI diagnostic value for truncus arteriosus, and to improve the non invasive diagnostic level. Methods Twelve cases of truncus arteriosus were examined by X ray, Ultracardiography, and MRI, and all were confirmed by cardioangiography (CAG). Among them, 6 cases were confirmed by operation. Results Truncus arteriosus was classified and diagnosed accurately by MRI in 10 cases, and MR could show the intracardic structure and the site at which the pulmonary artery originated from truncus arteriosus. Conclusion MRI had the definite applied value, and could remedy the shortcoming of echocardiography on the classification and diagnosis of truncus arteriosus. The combined usage of MRI and echocardiography could improve the clinical non invasive diagnostic level of truncus arteriosus.
