PURPOSE:To evaluate the clinical usefulness of EBCT in the diagnosis of anomalous pulmonary venous connection. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Anomalous pulmonary venous connection was diagnosed with EBCT in 21 patients(aged 3-63 years,mean 15. 6 years;13 male and 8 female). Contrast-enhanced single slice scanning was performed on 17 patients, and contrast-enhanced continuous volume scanning on 4 patients. The 3D reconstruction of shaded surface display was done in all patients. 17 patients had the results ofangiocardiography and operation, including 9 patients with angiocadiography only, 4 patients with operation only, 4 patients with both angiocardiography and operation. RESULTS: Of the 20 patients received EBCT before operation, partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection was diagnosed in 8 patients, total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in 1 2 patients;the former including supracardiac type(n=3),cardiac type(n=8)and mixed type(n=1). EBCT clearly displayed the number、distribution and location of anomalous
