- Cardiac MRI scan may be further used to investigate the cardiac tumors after initial diagnostic testing with an echocardiograph.
- Findings on MRI suggestive of/diagnostic of different cardiac cancers include:
| Tumor | MRI Finding |
|---|---|
| Myxoma | * Oval mobile left atrial lesion
* Heterogenous enhancement * Attachment to fossa ovalis |
| Rhabdomyoma | * Multiple masses isointense to muscle tissue on T1 images
* Hyperintense on T2 images |
| Fibroma | * Solitary mass
* Low intensity on T2 weighted image |
| Fibroelastoma | * T1 and T2 weighted images show uniform intermediate signal intensity similar to myocardium
|
| Hemangioma | * Intermediate density on T1 images
|
| Lipoma | * Epicardial or intramural lesion
|
| Paraganglioma | * Well defined lesion arising from atrial walls or septum
|
| Atrioventricular Node Tumor | * Hypointense cardiac mass on standard imaging
|
| Fibrosarcoma | * Heterogenous or isointense to myocardium on T1 weighted images |
