Supports using CMR for treatment planning of cardiac masses; leaves open whether this improved characterization translates to.
Does cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging improve the characterization of cardiac masses compared to echocardiography?
Cardiac MR imaging is the preferred modality for characterizing cardiac masses due to superior tissue characterization and contrast resolution, aiding in treatment planning.
Lichtenberger et al. (2018) conducted a review in Cardiac masses. Cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was evaluated. Cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is the optimal modality to characterize cardiac tumors due to its superior tissue characterization and higher contrast resolution.
