【 摘 要 】

Rapid evolution in technology in the recent years has lead to availability of multiple options for cardiac imaging. Availability of multipleoptions of varying capability, poses a challenge for optimal imaging choice. While new imaging choices are added, some of theestablished methods find their role re-defined. State of the art imaging practices are limited to few specialist cardiac centres, deprivingmany radiologists and radiologist in-training of optimal exposure to the field. This presentation is aimed at providing a broad idea aboutcomplexity of clinical problem, imaging options and a large library of images of congenital heart disease. Some emphasis is made asto the need of proper balance between performing examination with technical excellence in an ideal situation against the need of themajority of patients who are investigated with less optimal resources. Cases of congenital cardiac disease are presented in an illustrativeway, showing imaging appearances in multiple modalities, highlighting specific observations in given instance.
