  • Title: Magnetic resonance evaluation of the pericardium.
    Author: Smith WH, Beacock DJ, Goddard AJ, Bloomer TN, Ridgway JP, Sivananthan UM.
    Journal: Br J Radiol; 2001 Apr; 74(880):384-92. PubMed ID: 11387160.
    Abstract:
    Magnetic resonance (MR) is well suited to imaging the pericardium. High resolution images synchronized with the cardiac cycle can be obtained in any plane. The wide field of view allows additional anatomical and functional information to be obtained from adjacent structures such as the aorta, pleura, lungs and mediastinum. MR is particularly useful in cases of pericardial constriction without an associated effusion, in patients with complex or loculated pericardial effusions and in pericardial tumours. In this article we illustrate the characteristic MR features of a variety of pericardial pathologies.
