Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the advancement and increasing availability of multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) over the last 20 years, it is now an important imaging modality in diagnosing cardiovascular diseases, especially the difficult ones. With a quick scan and powerful post-processing, MDCT provides non-invasive, high-resolution images for diagnosing complex diseases and facilitating precise intervention in patients with ischemic heart diseases, post-cardiac surgery, cardiomyopathies, structural heart diseases, congenital heart diseases, cerebral vascular diseases, and peripheral vascular diseases.
For example, a recent bibliographic trend analysis [1] showed that the annually published articles of using MDCT in congenital heart disease has increased from 3 to 130 during the years 1999 to 2020, and are still increasing.
This Special Issue is accepting a wide range of articles presenting the new advances of using MDCT in cardiovascular diseases, including original articles facilitating diagnosis and treatment, narrative review of the current status or important techniques, bibliometric analysis, systematic review and meta-analysis, umbrella review and special cases with exceptional insights.
