[Heart tumors: magnetic resonance imaging and multislice spiral CT].
Transthoracic echocardiography is usually the initial diagnostic test in patients with a suspected cardiac mass. However, this technique is restricted by its small field of views and insufficient acoustic window in some patients. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and, since its introduction, multislice spiral computed tomography allow for detailed delineation of intra and pericardiac tumors, their extent, and their influence on cardiac function. Primary benign and malignant cardiac tumors have several characteristic features in MR imaging. Assessment of such features may narrow down the differential diagnosis or even allow for reliable diagnosis in selected cases. Many such features can also be assessed using MSCT. This article provides an overview of examination protocols of MRI and CT for cases in which a cardiac mass is suspected and describes the appearance of primary and secondary cardiac masses as well as intracavitary thrombi.
