In addition to the four basic components of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), multislice computed tomography (CT) can be used to assess the other cardiac findings and associated anomalies in patients with TOF that are beyond the reach of echocardiogram (ECHO). The purpose of this poster is, - To illustrate various findings and associated cardiac anomalies with multislice CT imaging in patients with TOF. - To describe the role of multislice CT in pre and post operative assessment of patients with TOF.  

COMPONENTS OF TOF: CT IMAGING OF OTHER FINDINGS AND PREOPERATIVE ASSESSMENT:    Pulmonary artery assessment.    Major aorto pulmonary collaterals.    Associated anomalies:           - Pulmonary atresia.           - Atrial septal defect.           - Patent ductus arteriosus.           - Coronary artery anomalies.           - Aortic anomalies - right sided arch, dilated aorta , coarctation.           - Anomalies of systemic venous return - double SVC,retro aortic innominate vein. POST OPERATIVE ASSESSMENT/ FOLLOWUP.   Post operative complications.   Evaluation of palliative shunts and definitive repair. ADVANTAGES :   Noninvasive compared to cardiac catheterization.   Can image beyond the reach of ECHO.   Better demonstration of complex anatomy. LIMITATIONS:   Iodinated contrast media, rapid heart rate, radiation.
