Clearly, both echocardiography and MRI play vital roles in the diagnosis and management of children with congenital heart defects. 2-D Doppler echocardiography is very easy to use in a vast array of clinical situations. The accuracy of the anatomic and hemodynamic findings are well accepted. In comparative studies, 2-D Doppler echocardiography appears preferable for intracardiac anatomy, whereas MRI appears preferable for extracardiac anatomy. In certain patients, Doppler echocardiography may not be able to optimally obtain the anatomic or hemodynamic information, and MRI should be used in these particular cases.
