Computed axial tomography (CAT) was used in 70 patients with diagnostic problems centering on the heart (47 patients) or the aorta (23). The method proved suitable for the diagnosis, differential diagnosis and serial control of pericardial effusions and also well demonstrated intracardiac tumours. Aortic aneurysms are also easily demonstrated and their extent can be exactly defined. But aortic wall dissection and stenosis of arteries arising from the aorta are not visualized and therefore require angiography.
计算机轴向断层扫描（CAT）用于70例以心脏（47例）或主动脉（23例）为中心存在诊断问题的患者。该方法被证明适用于心包积液的诊断、鉴别诊断和连续监测，也能很好地显示心脏内肿瘤。主动脉瘤也很容易显示，其范围可以精确界定。但主动脉壁夹层和源自主动脉的动脉狭窄无法显示，因此需要进行血管造影。
