MRI

MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of tuberculous pericarditis. Findings on MRI suggestive of tuberculous pericarditis include:

• Pericardial effusion
• Pericardial thickening
• Mediastinal and tracheobronchial lymphadenopathy (with hilar sparing)
• Bowing of the interventricular septum toward the left ventricle during diastole
