Abstract Background and Aim We sought to address the varied anatomical details, the
diagnostic challenges, associated cardiopulmonary anomalies, the techniques, and …

The lung has long been neglected by MR imaging. This is due to unique intrinsic
difficulties:(1) signal loss due to cardiac pulsation and respiration;(2) susceptibility artifacts …

The Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly that consists in part of total or partial

chest radiograph; however, a diagnosis is not definitive when this vein is obscured by …

We report a case of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage into the inferior vena cava
(scimitar syndrome) in which the hemodynamic significance was noninvasively assessed by …

Background: Echocardiographic evaluation of the pulmonary veins is inadequate at times.
Cardiac catheterization, especially in sick neonates, may be a high-risk procedure. Helical …
