About
This study aims to evaluate the added value of cardiac multislice Computed Tomography in assessment of CHD in pediatrics as a non-invasive presurgical planning method
Full description
All patients will be subjected to the followings:
All children gave an informed consent prior performing the research.
Every child was submitted to full history taking.
Clinical assessment of the patients will be performed in the form of: measuring of vital signs and anthropometric measurements.
Renal function tests(ѕerum creatinine and blood urea).
Patients will be prepared for CT as following:
CT examination will be done by
160 MDCT Toshiba Machine or 128 MDCT GE machine or 160 MDCT Philips Machine:
We used the following parameters during cardiac CT scanning:
A scout will be taken and dual-phase injection conducted using non ionized contrast material. The total contrast volume is 1.5-3 ml/kg.
Scanning begins when contrast filled the LV by bolus tracking.
All images were transferred to workstation multiplanar reformation (MPR), maximum (MIP) and minimum (MinIP) intensity projections and volume rendering images will be performed for reporting.
Reporting in sequential approach
Results: Results will be tabulated and assessed statistically and compared to other published results.
Ethical consideration and Study approval: The study protocol will be approved by the ethics committee of Faculty of Medicine, Sohag University.
