Key result
CT and MRI provide essential characterization of cardiac masses when echocardiography is inconclusive.
Multimodality imaging, particularly CT and MRI, is crucial for the accurate diagnosis, tissue characterization, and preoperative planning of cardiac masses and pseudomasses.

Supports CT/MRI after inconclusive echocardiography for cardiac masses; leaves open prospective validation of advanced sequences.
Tagliati et al. (2023) conducted a review in Cardiac masses and pseudomasses. Diagnostic imaging (CT, MRI, echocardiography) was evaluated. CT and MRI are essential imaging modalities for characterizing cardiac masses and pseudomasses when echocardiography is insufficient.
