Abstract
The value of the angio-computed tomography technique for evaluating communication between cardiac cavities of the 2 hearts in conjoined human infant twins is reported. After injecting contrast medium into the peripheral vein of 1 of the twins, the increase in density values of the heart in the other twin suggested shunting between the 2 hearts.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
