Optimal performance of pediatric cardiothoracic computed tomography (CT) is technically challenging and may need different approaches for different types of CT scanners. To meet the technical demands and improve clinical standards, a practical, user-friendly, and vendor-specific guideline for pediatric cardiothoracic CT needs to be developed for children with congenital heart disease (CHD). In this article, we have attempted to describe such guideline based on the consensus of experts in the Asian Society of Cardiovascular Imaging CHD Study Group. This first part describes the imaging techniques of pediatric cardiothoracic CT, and it includes recommendations for patient preparation, scan techniques, radiation dose, intravenous injection protocol, post-processing, and vendor-specific protocols.
儿科心胸 CT（计算机断层扫描）的最佳性能在技术上具有挑战性，并且可能需要针对不同类型的 CT 扫描仪采用不同的方法。为了满足技术需求并提高临床标准，需要为患有先天性心脏病（CHD）的儿童制定实用、用户友好且针对特定供应商的儿科心胸 CT 指南。本文基于亚洲心血管成像学会先天性心脏病研究组专家的共识，尝试描述了这样的指南。第一部分描述了儿科心胸 CT 的成像技术，包括对患者准备、扫描技术、辐射剂量、静脉注射方案、后处理和特定供应商方案的建议。
