RESUMEN
Las cardiopatías congénitas presentan con frecuencia patrones anatómicos complejos y tradicionalmente se han estudiado con ecocardiografía y eventualmente con cateterismo cardíaco. Con los avances tecnológicos de las últimas décadas, la tomografía computada y la resonancia magnética nuclear han adquirido gran importancia en la evaluación cardíaca. Actualmente constituyen métodos utilizados en el estudio de variadas patologías cardiovasculares de la infancia de difícil diagnóstico ecográfico, que previamente eran evaluadas por angiografía convencional, lo cual implicaba una dosis de radiación mucho mayor (AU)
ABSTRACT
Congenital heart defects often have complex anatomical patterns and have traditionally been studied with echocardiography and eventually cardiac catheterization. With technological advances in recent decades, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have become very important in cardiac evaluation. Currently, they are the methods of choice in the study of a wide range of childhood cardiovascular diseases that are difficult to diagnose with echocardiography, which were previously evaluated using conventional angiography, involving a much higher dose of radiation (AU)
