Özet

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic performance of prone position cardiac multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in the detection of left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombi and to make differentiate between thrombus and circulatory stasis using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) as the criterion-standard imaging modality.
