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.

MRI
On magnetic resonance imaging cardiac myxoma characterized by a soft tissue mass within the cardiac chambers isointense to skeletal muscle:
-
Axial T1-weighted MRI shows a soft tissue mass within the left atrium isointense to skeletal muscle (arrowheads). A friable myxoma was removed from the left atrium of a 53-year-old man with cerebrovascular accidents.

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. |
