Overview

Magnetic resonance imaging can be helpful as a diagnostic tool in conditions where the echocardiographic findings are inconclusive.

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR)

CMR is the imaging modality of choice in diagnosis and evaluating the structure of PAPVC. Other imaging modalities such as echocardiography may diagnose the presence of PAPVC, but CMR may yiled valuable insight into the number and location of pulmonary veins that are anomalously draining into the right atrium.
