ABSTRACT
Assessment of cardiovascular diseases has proved to have a growing relevance in radio-logic diagnosis, mainly due to the advancements in helicoidal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Computed angiotomography is a highly accurate and useful diagnostic tool in pediatrics, basically for its short patient-study time and its high spatial resolution. Thus, conventional diagnostic angiography seems to have been ranked second. This study presents the author's experience in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases using plain helicoidal computed tomography in a children's hospital belonging to the Public Health Care System.
RESUMEN
La evaluación de la patología cardiovascular cobra cada vez mayor relevancia en el diagnóstico radiológico, fundamentalmente por los avances en las técnicas de tomografía computada helicoidal y resonancia magnética. La angiotomografía computada es un método de gran rendimiento y utilidad diagnóstica en pediatría, principalmente por sus cortos tiempos de adquisición y su alta resolución espacial. Los grandes avances en esta técnica han desplazado a la angiografía convencional diagnóstica a un segundo lugar. En este trabajo se presenta la experiencia del autor en el diagnóstico de las patologías cardiovasculares usando tomografía computada helicoidal simple, en un hospital pediátrico inserto en el Sistema Público de Salud.
