Résumé
Valvular heart disease is a common clinical problem. Although echocardiography is the standard technique for the noninvasive evaluation of the valves, cardiac CT has evolved to become a useful tool in the evaluation of the cardiac structures as well. Importantly, CT allows for improved quantification of valvular calcification due to its superior spatial resolution. It may improve the detection of small valvular or perivalvular pathology or the characterization of valvular masses and vegetations. This review describes the assessment of normal and diseased heart valves by cardiac CT and discusses its strengths and weaknesses.
