Abstract:
Objective To investigate the value of ECG-gated dual-source computed tomography angiography (DSCTA) in the diagnosis of single atrium (SA).Methods DSCTA was performed in 29 patients with SA.The classification diagnosis was made,and the complicated deformities were observed.Results Among 29 patients,atrial situs solitus was found in 14 (14/29,48.28％),atrial situs inversus was found in 6 (6/29,20.69％) and atrial situs ambiguous was found in 9 (9/29,31.03％,including right atrial isomerism in 8 and left atrial isomerism in 1 patient).The patients complicated with 39 kinds,totally 228 deformities.The bronchi and lung structures were found in the same position as atrium in 23 patients (23/29,79.31％),including atrial situs solitus in 13,right atrial isomerism in 7 and atrial situs inversus in 3 patients.Conclusion DSCTA can accurately diagnose SA and associated abnormalities.The features of bronchus and lung structures are helpful to identifying left and right atrial appendage.
