The table below summarizes the findings that differentiate Cardiac Myxoma from other conditions that cause Emboli and hemorrhage:

Imaging Technique Features Sensitivity Specificity Limitations
Echocardiogram B C D E
MRI Cardiac myxomas appear spherical or ovoid with lobular contours, irregular in shape. MRI with gadolinium administration, demonstrates uniform heterogeneous enhancement. C D E
CT Intracardiac heterogeneously low attenuating mass. The attenuation is usally lower than that of myocardium, coarse dystrophic calcification is common. C D E
Angiography B C D E
Chest x-ray Results can be normal. Otherwise, common findings include cardiomegaly, left atrial enlargement, vascular redistribution, prominent pulmonary trunk, and intracardiac tumoral calcification(rare). C D E
