ABSTRACT

Along with echocardiography, many other non-invasive imaging techniques can be used to assess cardiac pathology. From the routine chest X-ray (CXR) to multi-detector computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), each modality yields complementary information that can be used to more accurately diagnose heart disease and assess the repercussions on adjacent vasculature and lung. This chapter will present some imaging modalities that are alternatives or can complement ultrasonography.
