Overview

MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of tuberculous pericarditis. Findings on MRI suggestive of tuberculous pericarditis include pericardial effusion, pericardial thickening, mediastinal and tracheobronchial lymphadenopathy (with hilar sparing), and bowing of the interventricular septum toward the left ventricle during diastole.
