Imaging Techniques in Adult Congenital Heart Disease

Imaging techniques in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) help doctors view how the heart is structured and functioning. Common methods include echocardiography (ultrasound of the heart), which shows heart motion and blood flow; MRI, offering detailed images of heart anatomy; and CT scans that provide clear, cross-sectional pictures. These tools help identify issues, plan treatments, and monitor heart health over time, ensuring patients receive appropriate care tailored to their unique heart conditions. Each method has its strengths and is chosen based on individual needs.
