Key result
Echocardiography, CT, and cardiac MRI provide complementary diagnostic information for constrictive pericarditis, often requiring a multimodality approach for conclusive diagnosis.
A multimodality imaging approach including echocardiography, CT, and cardiac MRI is often necessary for the conclusive diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis.

Supports multimodal imaging for CP diagnosis; leaves open optimal sequence and validation in prospective studies.
Mastouri et al. (2010) conducted a review in Constrictive pericarditis. Noninvasive imaging techniques (Echocardiography, CT, MRI) was evaluated. Echocardiography, CT, and cardiac MRI provide complementary diagnostic information for constrictive pericarditis, often requiring a multimodality approach for conclusive diagnosis.
