Abstract:
Advances in multi-modality cardiac imaging have aided the evaluation, surveillance and treatment guidance of pericardial diseases, which have traditionally been a challenging group of conditions to manage. Although echocardiography remains the first-line imaging modality to assess the pericardium, both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have valuable complimentary roles. It is critical for clinicians to have a clear understanding of the utilities, advantages and disadvantages of these cardiac imaging modalities in pericardial pathologies. This contemporary review provides an update regarding the applications of multi-modality cardiac imaging in the evaluation of pericardial syndromes including acute/recurrent pericarditis, effusion/tamponade, constriction, masses and congenital anomalies.
摘要:
多模态心脏成像的进展有助于评估,心包疾病的监测和治疗指导,传统上是一组具有挑战性的管理条件。尽管超声心动图仍然是评估心包的一线成像方式,计算机断层扫描(CT)和磁共振成像(MRI)都具有重要的补充作用.临床医生对公用事业有一个清晰的了解是至关重要的,这些心脏成像模式在心包病变中的优缺点。这篇当代综述提供了有关多模态心脏成像在评估包括急性/复发性心包炎在内的心包综合征中的应用的最新信息。积液/填塞,收缩,肿块和先天性异常。
