Heart Colored Doppler test: These are echocardiogram and colored doppler test which use sound waves to create a picture of the heart and flow. Because tumors generate different echoes of sound waves than normal tissue, the doctor can locate a mass on the [[pericardium]].

Positron emission tomography (PET) scan: When doing this test, a small amount of a radioactive medium is injected into your body and absorbed by the organs or tissues. This radioactive substance gives off energy to accept to produce the images. PET can provide more helpful information than CT scan and MRI scan. It is useful to see if the cancer has spread to lymph nodes and also useful for your doctor to locate where the cancer has spread.

Overview

Other imaging findings

Color Doppler

Heart Colored Doppler test: These are echocardiogram and colored doppler test which use sound waves to create a picture of the heart and flow. Because tumors generate different echoes of sound waves than normal tissue, the doctor can locate a mass on the pericardium.

PET Scan

Positron emission tomography (PET) scan: When doing this test, a small amount of a radioactive medium is injected into your body and absorbed by the organs or tissues. This radioactive substance gives off energy to accept to produce the images. PET can provide more helpful information than CT scan and MRI scan. It is useful to see if the cancer has spread to lymph nodes and also useful for your doctor to locate where the cancer has spread.
