CT and MRI are helpful for localizing and defining the morphologic features of hydatid cysts. Specific signs include calcification of the cyst wall, presence of daughter cysts, and membrane detachment. CT best shows wall calcification, whereas MRI depicts the exact anatomic location and nature of the internal and external structures.
Cardiac tumors are rare, and metastatic deposits are more common than primary cardiac tumors. We ... more Cardiac tumors are rare, and metastatic deposits are more common than primary cardiac tumors. We present cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of a 50-year-old woman with invasive thymoma. Cardiac MRI revealed a heterogeneous, lobulated anterior mediastinal mass invading the superior vena cava and extending to the right atrium. In cine images there was no invasion to the right atrial wall.

Cardiac myxoma is an intracavitary neoplasm that is attached to the endocardium. The majority of the myxomas occur in the left (75%) and right (20%) atrium. In this report, we present cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of a 5-year-old girl with pathologically
