Abstract
Multislice computed tomography is an imaging method of internal organs including heart and vessels with the use of X-ray. The indications for computed tomography of the heart include also congenital heart diseases and the evaluation of the great arteries. Ultrasonography is a method of choice in heart evaluation. The authors show the possibilities of modern multislice computed tomography in congenital heart diseases imaging based on their own material.
