A quantitative assessment of aorta root rotation in patients with tetralogy of Fallot evaluated by MSCT

Abstract Lack of conal rotation and conal malseptation is a characteristic anatomical feature for TOF which lead to dextroposed position of aorta and significant RVOT narrowing. The quantitative assessment of these anatomical features using modern cardiac imaging modality has been rarely discussed i...
