Pericardial pathology is most often identified by its effect on cardiac function. Echocardiography is usually performed first in evaluation of pericardial disease, but is occasionally limited or indeterminate. MR imaging is often helpful in these cases, offering superior soft tissue contrast and the ability to image the entire pericardium and its relationship to cardiac structure and function. Many of the techniques recently developed for myocardial imaging are equally applicable to the pericardium and frequently assist in the diagnosis of pericardial disease. In this article, the authors review MR imaging techniques for pericardial imaging, discuss the appearance of the normal pericardium, and illustrate pathologic and congenital conditions of the pericardium.
心包病变通常根据其对心脏功能的影响来识别。超声心动图通常是评估心包疾病时首先进行的检查，但偶尔会受到限制或结果不明确。在这些情况下，磁共振成像（MR）通常很有帮助，它能提供出色的软组织对比度，并且能够对整个心包及其与心脏结构和功能的关系进行成像。最近开发的许多心肌成像技术同样适用于心包，并且常常有助于心包疾病的诊断。在本文中，作者回顾了用于心包成像的MR技术，讨论了正常心包的表现，并举例说明了心包的病理和先天性疾病。
