TEACHING POINTS

• 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.  

TABLE OF CONTENTS/OUTLINE

• 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?
