由于医疗和手术护理的改善，越来越多的先天性心脏病患者活到成年。这组患者需要在专科中心采用多学科方法进行定期持续评估。成像在监测疾病和治疗中起着至关重要的作用。磁共振（MR）成像是首选的方式，因为它提供了数据的功能评估和良好的形态细节。在患有先天性心脏病的患者中，许多人将接受需要特定定制的MR成像检查的矫正外科手术。本综述强调了此类先天性疾病的范围，并说明了MR成像在成人先天性心脏病的持续评估中的价值。补充材料可在© RSNA，2010获得
Increasing numbers of patients with congenital heart disease survive into adulthood as a result of improved medical and surgical care. This group of patients requires regular ongoing assessment in specialist centers with a multidisciplinary approach. Imaging has an essential role in monitoring disease and treatment. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is the modality of choice because it provides data for a functional assessment and excellent morphologic detail. Among the patients who have congenital cardiac conditions, many will have undergone corrective surgical procedures that require specific tailoring of the MR imaging examination. This review highlights the spectrum of such congenital conditions and demonstrates how MR imaging is invaluable in the ongoing assessment of congenital heart disease in adults.Supplemental material available at© RSNA, 2010
