Key result
Radiologic imaging of cardiac myxomas, particularly with multiplanar and cine GRE MR imaging, provides accurate assessment of size, location, and attachment point to assist in surgical planning.
Why the study?
What are the characteristic radiologic findings of cardiac myxomas on radiographs, CT, and MR imaging?
Population
83 patients with 86 cardiac myxomas (47 female, 36 male; age range 2-78 years; mean age 48 years).

What are the characteristic radiologic findings of cardiac myxomas on radiographs, CT, and MR imaging?
Multiplanar and cine GRE MR imaging provide accurate assessment of the size, location, and point of attachment of cardiac myxomas, assisting in surgical planning.
Grebenc et al. (2002) conducted an observational in Cardiac myxomas (n=83). Radiologic imaging (CT, MR, Radiographs) was evaluated on Radiologic, clinical, and pathologic findings. Radiologic imaging of cardiac myxomas, particularly with multiplanar and cine GRE MR imaging, provides accurate assessment of size, location, and attachment point to assist in surgical planning.
