Multiparametric mapping by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in cardiac tumors

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a paucity of quantitative measurements of cardiac tumors and myocardium using parametric mapping techniques. This study aims to explore quantitative characteristics and diagnostic performance of native T1, T2, and extracellular volume (ECV) values of cardiac tumors and left ventricular (LV) myocardium.

Methods

Patients with suspected cardiac tumors who underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) between November 2013 and March 2021 were prospectively enrolled. The diagnoses of primary benign or malignant tumors were based on pathologic findings if available, comprehensive medical history evaluations, imaging, and long-term follow-up data. Patients with pseudo-tumors, cardiac metastasis, primary cardiac diseases, and prior radiotherapy or chemothe
