The role of cardiac CT and MRI in the diagnosis and management of primary cardiac lymphoma: A comprehensive review

Sanaz Asadian et al.

Summary: Primary cardiac tumors, particularly primary cardiac lymphomas, can lead to significant cardiac complications. Timely treatment can prolong survival, and robust diagnostic methods are crucial for improving prognosis. Cardiac CT and MRI can characterize tumors and determine their extent, as well as assist in safe biopsies. Cardiac MRI and CT imaging provide important information about cardiac toxicity induced by therapeutic regimens. The use of these imaging modalities aids in the early diagnosis of primary cardiac lymphomas, accelerates treatment initiation, and significantly improves patient outcomes.
