Radiologists and other clinicians must become accustomed with the normal cardiac anatomy as it appears on routine non-gated chest computed tomography (CT) to prevent interpretative errors.

Normal Cardiac Anatomy on Routine Non-gated Chest CT, Systematic Approach, and Images Analysis

  • René E. Kanza

摘要

Radiologists and other clinicians must become accustomed with the normal cardiac anatomy as it appears on routine non-gated chest computed tomography (CT) to prevent interpretative errors. This chapter describes normal heart anatomy observed on routine chest CT scans. We propose a systematic approach to evaluate the heart, including the pericardium and great vessels, and provide normal cardiac chambers, great vessel diameters, and wall thickness measurements on non-gated chest CT.
