Population

1 patient (49-year-old man) presenting with dizziness and fatigue, found to have a right atrial mass.

Intervention

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) using mDixon (fat-water separation) and quantitative parametric mapping (T1 and T2 mapping)

Outcome

Tissue characterization and diagnosis of the cardiac masssurrogate

Advanced CMR techniques including mDixon and parametric mapping can noninvasively characterize cardiac masses, such as identifying a right atrial lipoma.

Limitations

The technique lacks histological validation in larger clinical trials
