May support noninvasive lipoma diagnosis on bright-blood MRI; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does "bright-blood" balanced gradient-echo cardiac MRI produce characteristic findings for cardiac lipomas or lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum?
Bright-blood balanced gradient-echo cardiac MRI sequences demonstrate characteristic findings for cardiac lipomas and lipomatous hypertrophy, potentially obviating the need for confirmatory CT.
Salanitri et al. (2004) studied this question.
