Newer-generation CT scanners with ultrawide detectors or dual sources offer millisecond image acquisition times and significantly decreased radiation doses compared to historical cardiac CT and CT angiography. This technology is capable of nearly freezing cardiac and respiratory motion. As a result, CT is increasingly used for diagnosing and monitoring cardiac and vascular abnormalities in the pediatric population. CT is particularly useful in the setting of pulmonary vein evaluation because it offers evaluation of the entire pulmonary venous system and lung parenchyma. In this article we review a spectrum of congenital and acquired pulmonary venous abnormalities, including potential etiologies, CT imaging findings and important factors of preoperative planning. In addition, we discuss optimization of CT techniques for evaluating the pulmonary veins.
