Evaluating Cardiac Lateralization by MRI to Simplify Estimation of Cardiopulmonary Impairment in Pectus Excavatum

Evaluating Cardiac Lateralization by MRI to Simplify Estimation of Cardiopulmonary Impairment in Pectus Excavatum

Background: The severity of pectus excavatum is classified by the Haller Index (HI) and/or Correction Index (CI). These indices measure only the depth of the defect and, therefore, impede a precise estimation of the actual cardiopulmonary impairment. We aimed to evaluate the MRI-derived cardiac late...
