“…My group frequently has referrals to our echocardiography laboratory for the characterization of masses in the right atrium, where the differential diagnosis includes a normal structure (prominent Eustachian valve, a crista terminalis, a prominent IVC ridge, or a Chiari network), a thrombus, a tumor, or a tumor-thrombus arising from the IVC [7][8][9]. The ability to use the live-3D mode has allowed us in many instances to answer the question without the need for more invasive testing such as a 3D-MTEE.…”

Echocardiography is the most common noninvasive tool used in assessing cardiac masses. Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography expands the diagnostic capabilities of cardiac ultrasound in assessing the location, composition, size, and relationship to other structures of cardiac masses. The improved characterization of the anatomy of the mass, in conjunction with the accurate calculation of the left ventricular ejection fraction, makes this new technology the imaging modality of choice in assessing cardiac masses.

“…The measurement of vorticity based on the cardiac flow field generated from phase contrast MRI velocimetry can have useful applications in the study of cardiac flow for normal subjects [3]. It can also have clinical use for assessing flows in a heart with physical abnormalities, such as septal defects, in addition to evaluation by the well-established transthoracic and transesophoegal echocardiographic techniques [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62]. By characterising flow using these parameters, and statistically presenting them for every phase of the flow, we are able to extract more information from the flow model.…”

“…Thus, thanks to technological development 3D TTE or/and TEE are alternative diagnostic tools for SVD and APVD diagnosis. Nevertheless, the relevant literature is still limited and a new investigation comparing the MRI and 3D echocardiographic results would be interesting [24,25].…”

Purpose of this survey was to estimate the value of MRI for the assessment of the anatomical and functional features of sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SVD). This prospective study included 13 surgically proven cases of SVD out of 81 subjects submitted to MRI due to inconclusive transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) or suspicion of high intracardiac and/or extracardiac shunt volumes based on echocardiographic findings. MRI examination included cine SSFP sequences, contrast-enhanced 3D gradient-echo (GE) sequences for MR angiography (MRA) and phase-contrast flow-measurements. MRI revealed nine patients with a superior and four with an inferior SVD. Anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (APVD) was observed only in subjects with a superior SVD, and it was right-sided in all cases. All MRI and MRA results for the SVD patients were confirmed intraoperatively. The Correlation coefficient between MR flow measurements and cardiac catheterisation was 0.94 (P<0.0001). According to MRI the rest of the subjects (n=68) presented a secundum ASD, whereas in 18% an APVD coexisted. The latter MR outcomes concurred with the cardiac catheterisation (n=56) and operative (n=12) results. MRI provides a reliable, non-invasive method for evaluation of SVDs, APVDs and shunt quantification.
