Abstract

Over the last two to three decades with the advent of two-dimensional echocardiography and colour Doppler, echocardiography has evolved as the primary imaging modality in the evaluation of children with congenital heart disease (Snider et al. 1997; Allen et al. 2000). Increasingly cardiac catheterization is solely used for interventional purposes and although cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is increasingly utilized, echocardiography remains the primary imaging modality (Boxt 1996). The echocardiogram in children with congenital heart disease is not complete until the segmental anatomy has been fully delineated.
