[Magnetic tomography in pulmonary vein abnormalities].
Until recently, invasive angiographic procedures were necessary to verify the diagnosis of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. Because of their location outside the "acoustic window" these anomalies are unsuitable for echocardiographic examination. Two cases are reported where the diagnosis was confirmed by magnetic resonance tomography (MRT). This method allows an accurate, non-invasive assessment of these structures.
