CTICasesThymoma with Cardiac MRI Tagging
Imaging findings
Chest CT shows a slightly heterogeneous, low-attenuation prevascular mediastinal mass in a 41-year-old female. Cardiac MRI cine and grid tagging sequences show that the mass is mobile and separate from the moving myocardium, excluding pericardial invasion.
Key takeaways
Cardiac MRI grid tagging and cine sequences are useful to evaluate the mobility of mediastinal masses (such as thymomas) relative to the heart, helping to exclude myocardial or pericardial invasion prior to resection.
