It is common for a cardiac mass to be discovered accidentally during an echocardiographic examination. Following the relief of a cardiac mass, being able to evaluate and characterize it using non-invasive imaging methods is critical. Echocardiography, computed tomography (CT), cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), and positron emission tomography (PET) are the main imaging modalities used to evaluate cardiac masses. Although multimodal imaging often allows for a better assessment, CMR is the best technique for the non-invasive characterization of tissues, as the different MR sequences help in the diagnosis of cardiac masses. This article provides detailed descriptions of each CMR sequence employed in the evaluation of cardiac masses, underlining the potential information it can provide. The description in the individual sequences provides useful guidance to the radiologist in performing the examination.
心脏肿物在超声心动图检查时偶然被发现很常见。在发现心脏肿物后，能够使用非侵入性成像方法对其进行评估和特征描述至关重要。超声心动图、计算机断层扫描（CT）、心脏磁共振成像（CMR）和正电子发射断层扫描（PET）是用于评估心脏肿物的主要成像方式。尽管多模态成像通常有助于更好地评估，但CMR是用于组织非侵入性特征描述的最佳技术，因为不同的磁共振序列有助于心脏肿物的诊断。本文详细描述了在评估心脏肿物时使用的每个CMR序列，强调了它可以提供的潜在信息。各个序列中的描述为放射科医生进行检查提供了有用的指导。
