Overview

On Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or Cardiac Magenetic Resonance(CMR), cardiac myxoma is characterized by a soft tissue mass within the cardiac chambers isointense to skeletal muscle. This imaging modality,plays an important role in the evaluation of cardiac masses and is of great value when echocardiographic findings are suboptimal or when the lesion has an atypical location or appearance.

Cardiac MRI in myxoma

ACC/AHA Guidelines- ACCF/ACR/AHA/NASCI/SCMR 2010 Expert Consensus Document on Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance[2] (DO NOT EDIT)

CMR may be used for clinical evaluation of cardiac masses, extracardiac structures, and involvement and characterization of masses in the differentiation of tumors from thrombi.
