Zusammenfassung:3D volume rendered computed tomography (3D-CT) produces detailed, three-dimensional models that can be rotated and viewed in any orientation to provide a more natural and functional view of the patient's anatomy. This technology is especially beneficial in diagnosing and repairing cardiovascular anomalies. Three cases are presented where 3D-CT was used to diagnose and plan a course of treatment for patients with cardiac anomalies.
