Computerized tomography (CT) has become a routine examination, but it is not well suited to the study of vascular and cardiac pathology. However, CT scans are very useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of aortic aneurysms and dissections, in the postoperative follow-up of surgical cardiac patients and in some cardiac pathologies, such as thrombosis or tumors.
