Cardiac computed tomography (CT) may be used as an alternative to MRI to define ventricular volumes/function or assess associated anatomic lesions that are poorly visualized on echocardiography.

SlicerHeart extension contains tools for cardiac image import (3D/4D ultrasound, CT, MRI), quantification, surgical planning, and implant placement planning and assessment. The extension currently includes the following features (new features are added continuously): ...
Moreover, coronary CT angiography has an important role in pre-procedural imaging, spanning from transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) planning [8, 9] to newer applications in guiding interventional procedures [10]. Stress MRI has shown the overall highest accuracy in diagnosing ischemia, ...
Cardiac MRI measurements were performed in control mice (n = 6), and db/db mice (n = 7), whereby animals were scanned four times between the age of 11–15 weeks. After the first scan, the db/db animals received a doxycycline intervention to accelerate progression of HFpEF. ...
The ECG may be combined with other imaging data, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT), or electroanatomical maps that are directly recorded on the internal and external surfaces of the heart. Thanks to the aforementioned tools, clinicians can success- fully ...

If subsequently proven to be of comparable value in congenitally malformed hearts, the technique could guide the planning of reconstructive surgery. This would be an important advance, particularly in those complex lesions such as hearts with isomeric atrial appendages, where uncertainty still exists ...
In pediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has enhanced the applicability of cross-sectional anatomical imaging and is now used widely as a diagnostic complementary tool to echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and cardia...
Nonetheless, the authors recognized that cardiac MRI was the preferred choice. Thus, they suggested that cardiac MRI should be used in cases in which the echocardiography was not definitive, or cases, where echocardiography was definitive but more accurate information was needed for surgical planning ...
