Abstract
DURAND, Miranda. Cardiovascular MRI of the pericardium: A case review of the anatomy, scan protocols and pathology of the pericardium. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.2, pp.1-6. ISSN 2078-6778. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v20i2.1022.
The aim of this article was to present a case based review of the anatomy, scan protocols and pathology of the pericardium. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging provides excellent anatomic depiction of the pericardium, vital information on myocardial infiltration and characterisation of mass lesions and pericardial effusions. It adds valuable information in the assessment of complicated pericardial disease.
