CT may aid cardiac mass characterization when MRI is contraindicated; leaves open need for prospective comparative studies.
Cardiac CT is an increasingly utilized and effective modality for the assessment and characterization of neoplastic and non-neoplastic cardiac masses, especially when MRI is contraindicated.
Kassop et al. (2014) conducted a review in Cardiac masses. Cardiac computed tomography was evaluated. Cardiac computed tomography provides high spatial resolution and multiplanar imaging capabilities that make it a valuable alternative to MRI for characterizing diverse cardiac masses.
