Methods of Assessment of the Right Ventricular Function
The review contains contemporary data of assessment on right ventricular (RV) function by various instrumental methods of investigation. Among all these methods multispiral computed tomography (MSCT) appears to be most perspective. Accuracy and reproducibility of measurements of RV function by MSCT and comparable with those of magnetic resonance tomography. The uniqueness of MSCT is its ability to produce complex simultaneous evaluation not only of RV-functional parameters but also of other anatomical structures located in the scanning field.
