[Malpositions of the heart and the great vessels by CT (author's transl)].
The CT-findings of the most important kinds of malpositions of the heart are described. The differentiation between the venous and arterial heart cavities is possible noninvasively using a rapid bolus injection of contrast medium. If there is a malposition of the heart, uncertain findings of the heart configuration in the plain chest film can be explained by CT. Anomalies of the great vessels are detectable.
