Detection of atrial septal defect by contrast-enhanced ultrafast computed tomography.
A 53-year-old man with previous surgically corrected pulmonic valve stenosis was evaluated for central cyanosis. A right-to-left shunt at the atrial level was diagnosed by contrast-enhanced ultrafast computed tomography. Cardiac catheterization confirmed the CT findings and provided quantitation of the shunt.
