Why the study?
Does magnetic resonance imaging improve the characterization of suspected intracardiac masses compared to transthoracic echocardiography in patients with suspected cardiac masses?

Contrast-enhanced MRI provides superior diagnostic accuracy and characterization of suspected cardiac masses compared to transthoracic echocardiography.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support MRI for characterizing equivocal cardiac masses beyond TTE; extends small observational data but leaves open prospective validation.
Narin et al. (2010) studied this question.
