Impact of Ventricular Contrast Medium Attenuation on the Accuracy of Left and Right Ventricular Function Analysis at Cardiac Multi Detector-row CT Compared with Cardiac MRI

If computed tomographic evaluation of RV function is desired, attention should be paid to the contrast injection protocol, because the accuracy of RV function analysis depends on the level of contrast medium attenuation. The high contrast medium attenuation that is typically achieved in the left ventricle routinely enables highly accurate measurements compared to CMR.
