Before the era of imaging techniques, the diagnosis of cardiac masses was extremely difficult and often not made antemortem. With the advence of modern imaging modalities such as echocardiography (TTE, TEE) computed tomography (CT) and MRI, direct visualisation of this pathology has become a reality. Although echocardiography is still the first line modality used, imaging is often subobtimal especially in non echogenic patients. Computed tomography and MRI are second line imaging modalities that have the ability to overcome the limitations of echocardiography. The major aim of this brief revue is to highlight the role of MRI in the detection and differenciation of cardiac masses (primary and secondary tumors, non tumoral masses, variants of normal anatomy...), comparing this technique with the other imaging techniques Support: MSM0021622402 | |
