Radiographics. 1989 Mar;9(2):283-305

In this overview of cine-CT technology and its clinical application, the authors discuss the unique features of the imaging unit and describe the scanning programs and projections available for cardiac studies. Application of the unit to physiologic studies (e.g., cardiac output and ejection fractions) are illustrated, and examples of the value of the unit for the diagnosis of septal defects, aortic dissection, valvular regurgitation, prosthetic value malfunction and coronary artery bypass graft occlusion are presented.
