Key result
Multimodality imaging, including cardiac CT, CMR, and PET, plays a crucial complementary role in the diagnosis, staging, and management of pericardial diseases.
Why the study?
Pericardial diseases present diagnostic challenges due to a growing spectrum, non-specific symptoms, and overlapping etiologies, requiring clinicians to understand how complementary multimodality imaging impacts diagnosis, management, and prognostication.
What is the role of multimodality imaging in the investigation, clinical course, treatment, and prognostication of various pericardial diseases?

Cardiac CT aids pericardial assessment; leaves open prospective validation of multimodality protocols.
Chetrit et al. (2021) conducted a review in Pericardial diseases. Multimodality imaging (Cardiac CT, CMR, PET) was evaluated. Multimodality imaging, including cardiac CT, CMR, and PET, plays a crucial complementary role in the diagnosis, staging, and management of pericardial diseases.
