Figure 4

A case example of patients in which biventricular volume and function have been evaluated at CCT due to cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) contraindication (claustrophobia). Biventricular balanced opacification enabled to correctly quantify both the left (panel A–C) and right (panel D–F) ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF 49%, RVEF 68%). Images were acquired during the entire cardiac cycle and the radiation dose needed for this evaluation was 7.5 mSv, heightening one of the main limitations to the routine clinical use of CCT for left ventricular evaluation.
