Abstract Three‐dimensional rotational angiography (3D‐RA) enables volumetric imaging
through rotation of the C‐arm of an angiographic system and real‐time 3D recon‐
struction during cardiac catheterization procedures. In the field of congenital heart
disease (CHD), 3D‐RA has gained considerable traction, owing to its capability for en‐
hanced visualization of spatial relationships in complex cardiac morphologies and real
time image guidance in an intricate interventional environment. This review provides
an overview of the current applications, strengths, and limitations of 3D‐RA acquisi‐
tion in the management of CHD and potential future directions. In addition, issues of
dosimetry, radiation exposure, and optimization strategies will be… More >
