Background:

  • Noninvasive imaging significantly impacts diagnosing and managing pericardial disease.
  • Chest radiography may initially reveal pericardial involvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of noninvasive imaging in diagnosing and managing pericardial disease.
  • To highlight the strengths and limitations of various imaging modalities.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on noninvasive imaging techniques for pericardial disease.
  • Discussion of echocardiography, CT, and MRI applications.

Main Results:

  • Echocardiography (M-mode, 2-D, Doppler) is the primary imaging modality for pericardial disease.

  • CT and MRI offer complementary diagnostic information and are sometimes essential.
  • Comparative diagnostic accuracy studies are needed, balancing procedure selection with cost and safety.

    • Conclusions:

    • The choice of imaging modality depends on availability, safety, and cost.
    • Interpreting imaging results within the clinical context is paramount for accurate diagnosis and management.
