[Heart imaging by CT-scan and MRI in cardiac tumors]

Abstract

The etiology of cardiac masses is often oncological or thrombotic, rarely inflammatory. Among heart tumors, the vast majority are metastatic. We describe the most frequent benign primary cardiac tumors and the most frequent malignant primary cardiac tumors and give information about the advantages of using a multi-modality approach for the accurate diagnosis of a cardiac mass using Computed Tomography Scanner and Magnetic Resonance Investigation.
