most commoin cardiac mass
thrombus
how to distinguish thrombus on MR
no enhancement of contrast and adjacent wall poor motion
most common bengin primary tumour cardiac for adults
myxoma
where are myxomas typically found
left atria, inter atrial septum near fossa ovalis.
MRI myxoma volaues
T1 akin to myocardium.
t2 hyperintense
can get calc and hemosiderin deposition
caridac lipomas usually found where?
right atrium
histological difference of LHIS (septal lipoma) vs actual lipoma
lipoma has a capsule on histopathology
which is the tumour of the cardiac valves?V
papillary fibroelastoma
malignant cardiac masses - common type is
sarcoma
features of malignant cardiac tumours
more than one chamber
necrosis
invasion of pericardium and epicardial fat
extension
pericardial effusion
mets
cardiac angiosarcomas typically affect where
right atrium
appearance of angiosarcoma on the MRI
cauliflwoer like
Aortic aneurysm sizes
Ascending >4
descedning >3.5
GCA produces stenoses that are
long and smooth
Infections that can cause aortitis
Staph A
Salmonella
Pneumoccus
Ecoli
2 types of Takayasou
Pre-pulseless (fveres)
Pulseless (ischaemic)
Oesophagus - shaggy borders
infection with haemorrhage
think candida
Short pedicles
reduced interpeduncular distance
champagne glass pelvis
bullet shaped vcertebra
Achonddraplasia
inferior vertebral beaking
Hurlers / Hunters syndromes
Which MRI sequence is useful for haemorrhage
Gradient Echo
What are implications of brain - infarcted core
not salvageable
what are the implications of brain for penumbra
tissue at risk - that could be saved
lentiform nucleus contains
putamen and globus pallidus
MRI - thrombus best seen on
Gradient recall echo
