Echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging and, more recently, multidetector computed tomography, have led to major advances in noninvasive image assessment of anatomy in pediatric cardiology. The radionuclide methods often lack sufficient resolution to precisely characterize complex morphology in congenital heart lesions. However, these methods provide an accurate and reproduceable quantitative assessment of the physiological consequences of structural heart disease. These unique capabilities will continue to assure ongoing clinical relevance of radionuclide methodology, as is the case in the assessment of heart disease in adult cardiology.
超声心动图、磁共振成像以及最近的多排螺旋计算机断层扫描，已使儿科心脏病学中解剖结构的无创影像评估取得了重大进展。放射性核素方法通常缺乏足够的分辨率来精确描述先天性心脏病病变的复杂形态。然而，这些方法能对结构性心脏病的生理后果进行准确且可重复的定量评估。这些独特的能力将继续确保放射性核素方法在临床上的持续相关性，就如同在成人心脏病学中对心脏病的评估一样。
