Overview
Cardiovascular MRI is not commonly used for the diagnosis of cardiac tamponade as it is effectively diagnosed based on clinical features and echocardiography.
MRI
Cardiac tamponade is characterized by the diastolic collapse the right-sided chambers and sometimes the left-sided chambers on cine images.
Findings
- Pericardial effusion
- Distension of the vena cavae and hepatic veins
- Collapse of the right sided cardiac chambers
- Interventricular septum shifts towards the left (paradoxical septal motion)
