title: [Cardiac imaging by means of four-detector row computed tomography and cardiac gating].
abstract: Electrocardiographically-assisted imaging is a recent development in multislice spiral computed tomography. In this article, we summarize the principles of four-detector row CT for cardiac applications. Following is an overview of the potential of this technique to evaluate the heart, the thoracic aorta, and the paracardiac pulmonary parenchyma. Technical considerations for optimal imaging are highlighted.
