Clinical applications of multimodality cardiac imaging

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 neuroimaging: research and clinical applications.

This manuscript reviews the current stance and the pertinent problems of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) as brain mapping methodologies. The missing structure-function relation limits the use of TMS, whereas the uncertainty about the functional significance of activated cortical regions might render interpretation of fMRI studies difficul...
