Nowadays, there is a wide array of imaging studies available for the evaluation of coronary artery disease, each with its particular indications and strengths. Cardiac single photon emission tomography is mostly used to evaluate myocardial perfusion, having experienced recent marked improvements in image acquisition. Cardiac PET has its main utility in perfusion imaging, atherosclerosis and endothelial function evaluation, and viability assessment. Cardiovascular computed tomography has long been used as a reference test for non-invasive evaluation of coronary lesions and anatomic characterization. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance is currently the reference standard for non-invasive ventricular function evaluation and myocardial scarring delineation. These specific strengths have been enhanced with the advent of hybrid equipment, offering a true integration of different imaging modalities into a single, simultaneous and comprehensive study.

“…The aforementioned abilities are enhanced by the versatility and high spatial resolution of the CMR, which together offer excellent soft tissue characterization [112], all this with the added benefit of not submitting the patient to any ionizing radiation during the study [109,[111][112][113].…”

Correct diagnosis must be made before appropriate treatment can be given. The aim of cardiac imaging is to establish cardiac diagnosis as accurate as possible and to avert unnecessary invasive procedures. There are many different modalities of cardiac imaging and each of them has advanced tremendously throughout the past decades. Echocardiography, as the first-line modality in most clinical circumstances, has progressed from two-dimensional, single-planed M-mode in the 1960s to three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography nowadays. Cardiac computed tomography angiogram (CCTA) has revolutionised the management of coronary artery disease as it allows clinicians to visualise the coronary arteries without performing an invasive angiogram. Because of the high negative predictive value, CCTA plays an important reassuring role in acute chest pain management. The greatest strength of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is that it provides information in tissue characterization. It is the modality of choice in assessing myocardial viability and myocardial infiltration such as haemochromatosis or amyloidosis. Each of these modalities has its own strengths and limitations. In fact, they are complementing each other in different clinical settings. Cardiac imaging will continue to advance and, not long from now, we will not need invasive procedures to make an accurate cardiac diagnosis.

Educational Gaps1. Neonatologists may be unfamiliar with history and evolution of cardiac imaging. 2. Neonatologists may be unfamiliar with imaging principles behind the use of computed tomography angiography (CTA) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI). 3. Neonatologists may be unfamiliar with indications and utility of CTA and CMRI in congenital heart disease. AbstractCongenital heart disease continues to be a leading cause of neonatal morbidity; however, advancements in diagnostic technology and surgical techniques have markedly improved patient survival. In particular, in-depth noninvasive imaging with computed tomography angiography (CTA) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) has had a tremendous effect on the amount of information available to the surgeon or interventionalist before any procedure. CTA and CMRI have their own advantages and disadvantages, and this review provides an overview of these technologies, highlighting clinical indications. This article also provides images and videotapes to better highlight our understanding of various complex congenital heart lesions.
