multimodality imaging of a cardiac angiosarcoma

introduction while primary malignant tumors of the heart are rare, angiosarcomas are the most common cardiac malignant tumors. case presentation we describe a 23-year-old woman who presented with a right atrial mass, which was discovered to be a cardiac angiosarcoma. we demonstrate the use of several noninvasive imaging modalities along with pathology confirmation for the definitive and compreh...

Multimodality imaging of a cardiac paraganglioma

Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors arising from the ganglia of the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system. Less than 160 cases of intrapericardial or intracardiac paragangliomas have been reported in the English language peer-reviewed medical literature. Here, we report a case of intrapericardial paraganglioma, which illustrates some typical multimodality imaging features of t...

Multimodality Imaging

Noninvasive “multimodal” in vivo imaging is not just becoming standard practice in the clinic, but is rapidly changing the evolving field of experimental imaging of genetic expression (“molecular imaging”). The development of multimodality methodology based on nuclear medicine (NM), positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and optical imaging is the single b...
