• Heterotaxy syndrome is a complex conglomeration of cardiac and extra-cardiac anomalies.
• It comprises of situs ambiguous with right or left isomerism.
• Knowledge of complex cardiac anomalies along with associated vascular and non-vascular thoracic and extra-thoracic anomalies is crucial for radiology reporting in surgeon’s interest.
• Multidetector CT angiography with radiation dose optimization can confidently define most of the cardiac and extra-cardiac anomalies.
• Embryological development of heart.
• Definition of terms associated with situs anomalies
• What does heterotaxy stand for?
• Role of CTA in imaging of heterotaxy syndrome: protocol and techniques for dose optimization
• Role of MDCT angiography vis a vis MRI
• Spectrum of anomalies associated in heterotaxy syndrome:
o Cardiac
o Extra-cardiac thoracic (Vascular / Non vascular)
o Extra-thoracic
• CTA report of complex cardiac anomaly: what a surgeon is looking for?
