简要总结
This study is a comparative cross sectional investigation designed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 2D Echocardiography and CT Pulmonary Angiography in detecting complex congenital heart disease in the pediatric population at a tertiary care center over one year. Congenital heart disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children, and early diagnosis is crucial for improving survival, treatment outcomes, and quality of life. 2D Echocardiography is the standard first line diagnostic tool due to its safety and radiation free nature. However, it has limitations in assessing extra cardiac vascular structures and is highly operator dependent. CT Pulmonary Angiography, with its three dimensional imaging and high spatial resolution, provides accurate anatomical assessment of intra and extra cardiac structures, thereby enhancing preoperative planning and overall management. The study aims to compare these two modalities to determine their relative effectiveness, accuracy, and utility in clinical decision making for pediatric congenital heart disease for the study.
