Noninvasive imaging in congenital heart disease

Imaging algorithms in congenital heart disease, as in the patient with acquired heart diseases continue to evolve, with more and more information gleaned noninvasively. The emphasis will be on the newer aspects of imaging, not cross sectional echocardiography with color Doppler.

Echocardiography is an extraordinarily useful imaging technique in fetuses, infants, children, and adolescents. Recent technologic innovations have expanded its versatility in the pediatric population. However, limited societal resources, limitations inherent to ultrasound imaging, and numerous imaging options even within the field of pediatric echocardiography necessitate the discriminate and thoughtful use of echocardiography in children. The clinical assessment remains a critical prelude to echocardiographic examination of the pediatric cardiovascular system.
