Cardiac MRI helps determine tumor type in children’s hearts
Cardiac MRI can predict the likely tumor type in a majority of children with a cardiac mass, but cannot always conclusively determine if the tumor is malignant, according to a study in the August 30 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
The international study from 15 pediatric cardiac imaging centers in the U.S. and Europe also concluded that a “comprehensive imaging protocol is essential for accurate diagnosis,” and that histologic diagnosis remains “the gold standard” in this clinical application (JACC, Vol. 58:10, pp. 1044-1054).
