ResumoCardiac 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.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.
