Popis: Introduction: Data assimilated for coronary arteries angiography by MDCT with retrospective (ECG) gating could be used for LV function without the need to repeat examination. Aim of the work: Is to study left ventricular segmental motility and global function using MDCT compared to MRI. Patients and methods: Fifty patients had cardiac MDCT and MRI studies within the same hour. LVEDV and LVESV volumes were measured. Consequently, the (EF) was calculated, for wall motion analysis, cine loops evaluated by two radiologists. Results: Excellent correlation between MDCT and MRI for the measurement of EDV (r2 = 0.962; p
