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
- Vena cavae and hepatic veins distension
- Cardiac chambers collapse (right wall collapse commoner compared to left)
- Interventricular septum shift towards left
