Abstract Purpose of the Review The purpose of this study is to review the utility of cardiac
magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in diagnosing and differentiating among different …

Our look at cardiac tumors and cardiac masses in general has fundamentally changed with
the advent of noninvasive cardiac imaging. At present, MRI is probably the technique …

Background Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) provides useful information for
characterizing cardiac masses, but there are limited data on whether CMR can accurately …

Cardiac masses diagnosis and treatment are a true challenge, although they are
infrequently encountered in clinical practice. They encompass a broad set of lesions that …

Overall, the prevalence of primary cardiac neoplasms is approximately 0.3% and these
masses should be distinguished from the myriad of other primary and secondary processes …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is often considered the reference
method to assess cardiac tumors. However, little data exists concerning the effectiveness of …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) provides a noninvasive and three-dimensional
(3D) assessment of masses involving the cardiac chambers, the pericardium, and …

Noninvasive cardiac imaging specialists are the detectives of the cardiology world. Using
different modalities and techniques, we are able to piece together clues and use …

Echocardiography is the preferred initial imaging method for assessment of cardiac masses.
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, with its excellent tissue characterization and …

Despite the fact that the incidence of cardiac tumors is low, the prompt evaluation and
adequate intervention of these is highly important. Although most tumors of the heart are …
