May guide CMR use for cardiac mass evaluation; leaves open prospective validation studies.
Cardiac magnetic resonance is the gold standard imaging modality for the non-invasive characterization and evaluation of cardiac masses and tumors.
Bianco et al. (2017) conducted a review in Cardiac tumors, masses, and pseudomasses. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) was evaluated. Cardiac magnetic resonance is considered the gold standard for non-invasive characterization of cardiac masses, allowing better evaluation of tumor infiltration and potential malignancy.
