Key result
Transesophageal echocardiography is the preferred modality for evaluating atrial thrombi, while cardiac magnetic resonance imaging provides superior specificity for differentiating thrombi from other masses.
This review highlights the comparative utility of TTE, TEE, CT, and CMR for the detection and characterization of intracardiac thrombi.
May inform thrombus imaging selection; leaves open need for prospective trials to guide practice.

Turhan et al. (2013) conducted a review in Intracardiac thrombus. Cardiac imaging modalities (TTE, TEE, CT, CMR) was evaluated. Transesophageal echocardiography is the preferred modality for evaluating atrial thrombi, while cardiac magnetic resonance imaging provides superior specificity for differentiating thrombi from other masses.
