Abstract

Background:Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is the golden standard used for the diagnosis of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). The consistency of cardiac computed tomography (CCT) in CTRCD cases using CMR imaging is investigated in this study.

Methods and Results:In 7 clinically confirmed CTRCD patients, focal late enhancement was confirmed on both CCT and CMR for 4 patients. Myocardial extracellular volume (ECV) values measured by CCT and CMR were elevated in all patients, suggesting the presence of diffuse myocardial damage.

Conclusions:The study findings indicated that CCT could provide adequate information about late myocardial enhancement and ECV quantification, indicating the effective evaluation of CTRCD by CCT.
