Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging Methods to Assess Pericardial Disease in Cardio-Oncology

Pericardial disease
Anatomy
   Dark-blood T1-weighted imaging for anatomy
   Fat/water separation imaging to identify pericardium and
    distinguish from surrounding fat
Function/flow
   Cine white-blood imaging (real time) to evaluate function and
    identify septal shift
Tissue characterization
   Fat/water separation imaging to identify pericardium and
    distinguish from surrounding fat
   Late gadolinium enhancement imaging to assess for pericardial
    tumor invasion
