Abstract
Recent advancement in computed tomography angiography (CTA) has enabled the noninvasive delineation of cardiac valves using this method. Although echocardiography is the current standard, CTA is a valuable complementary imaging method to evaluate valvular morphology and function. In addition, CTA may contribute to the assessment of both congenital and acquired valvular heart disease, infectious endocarditis, and postsurgical complications of valve replacement.
