Cardiac CT allows for the exact assessment of coronary morphology including length, calcification and severity of lesions. Based on these morphological information, success of a percutaneous revascularisation procedure can be anticipated with high prognostic accuracy. Additionally, the possibility of identification of lesion at risk by means of coronary CT has been described recently. By this, dedicated treatment of only the relevant stenosis should become possible avoiding multiple, potentially unneeded, stents. Finally, even the assessment of myocardial viability by means of CT becomes possible. Using all the possibilities of cardiac CT optimised treatment plan can be established, and outcome can be estimated. This presentation should give an overview about potential applications of cardiac CT for optimised treatment decisions and planning. Potentially useful algorithms for improving the outcome of coronary interventions should be provided. Prediction of coronary revascularisation outcome represents a major clinical target since a large number of medical and surgical options have become available for chronic ischaemic cardiomyopathy with need to identify more rigorous criteria for patient selection. The combination in a single examination of function, stressperfusion and tissue characterisation with T2-weighted "oedema-sensitive" and late-gadolinium enhancement (LGE) techniques, supported the role of cardiac MR (CMR) as an important technique for the evaluation of patient candidates for revascularisation. Besides more "traditional" indicators like ejection fraction, enddiastolic wall thickness or end-systolic volumes, extent and distribution of myocardial scar depicted with LGE has been identified as one of the most important predictors of post-revascularisation outcome with direct influence on functional recovery and on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) due to the potential induction of arrhythmias from the scar. LGE technique has been shown to be superior to nuclear medicine for the assessment of myocardial viability due to the higher spatial resolution (up to 60-fold greater than SPECT) and an intrinsic high-contrast resolution. A further technique that could be adopted before revascularisation is stress imaging. Myocardial ischaemia detected by either CMR adenosine first-pass perfusion or dobutamine-induced wall motion abnormalities has been shown to predict subsequent cardiac death, whereas normal stress perfusion showed a high negative predictive value for MACE. In conclusions, although as a relatively new diagnostic modality prognostic evidence is predominantly derived from single-centre studies, CMR is increasingly becoming an important tool for risk stratification before revascularisation, offering indications about outcome and mortality. Cardiac valve diseases are an important public health problem, with an increasing incidence strongly linked to the increasing age of the Western population. The most frequent valve disease is aortic stenosis, for which percutaneous aortic valve replacement (PAVR) is currently evolving as an alternative therapy in high-risk patients. Nevertheless, careful evaluation of all aspects of this new approach is still required to avoid uncontrolled diffusion. Imaging plays a key role in selecting patients who may be eligible for PAVR, focusing on the evaluation of leaflet anatomy, severity of valve dysfunction, haemodynamic consequences and potential problems in the access route. While echocardiography is commonly used for both the anatomical and functional evaluation, multidetector CT (MDCT) has important intrinsic advantages providing state-of-the-art 3D imaging with a high spatial resolution over a large anatomic coverage. During this course, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of MDCT compared with other imaging modalities. The relevant anatomy of the aortic valve and annulus will be reviewed, with emphasis on correct alignment of the imaging planes, and its implications for Diffusion tensor imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of paediatric brain disorders as it provides important physiological information. This physiological information comes from the fact that water molecules diffuse approximately 10 microns using typical diffusion parameters, allowing interrogation of tissue properties at a micron level with this information volume averaged over a 8 cm3 image voxel. In our clinical experience we have observed that decreased diffusivity occurs in situations where there is 1. Metabolic failure (ex. acute necrosis) or compromise (ex. Status epilepticus), 2. Myelin vacuolization (ex. Maple Syrup Urine Disease), 3. Increased cellular density (pus, medulloblastoma). However, in hypoxic, ischemic insults it is important to remember that normal diffusivity does exclude a significant brain injury in the first few days after an event. In this situation, delayed cell death mechanisms may be activated, resulting in delayed decreases in diffusivity (delayed necrosis) or just long term volume loss (delayed apoptosis).
