  • Title: Evaluation of valvular heart diseases with computed tomography.
    Author: Tomoda H, Hoshiai M, Matsuyama S.
    Journal: Jpn Circ J; 1982 Apr; 46(4):402-6. PubMed ID: 7087157.
    Abstract:
    Forty-two patients with valvular heart diseases were studied with a third-generation computed tomographic system. The cardiac chambers (the atria and ventricles) were evaluated semiquantitatively, and valvular calcification was easily detected with computed tomography. Computed tomography was most valuable in revealing left atrial thrombi which were not identified by other diagnostic procedures in some cases.
