Overview

Magnetic resonance imaging can be helpful as a diagnostic tool in conditions where the echocardiographic findings are inconclusive.[1]

Magnetic resonance imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used as a diagnostic modality in the evaluation of the patient who is suspected to have Ebstein's anomaly if the echocardiogram is inconclusive.

Advantages of MRI

  • It can be used in cases where echocardiographic results are inconclusive.
  • Helps in measuring heart volumes, blood flow and ventricular wall thickness.
  • The magnetic resonance angiography helps in better visualization of heart vasculature and measuring the size the pulmonary arteries
  • Phase velocity mapping helps in measuring the ratio of pulmonary to systemic blood flow (Qp:Qs).

Disadvantages of MRI

  • For successful MRI procedure breath holding is required, which is sometimes difficult to achieve with small kids.
  • Some patients may become claustrophobic.
  • Due to the above, the procedure is sometimes done under general anesthesia in children.
  • There may be limited expertise to interpret the MRI as well.
