Objective:
In this article, we aimed to review the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of cardiac hydatid disease.
Conclusions:
Regarding the diagnostic work-up of cardiac hydatid disease, CT and MRI are complimentary techniques. Whereas CT effectively depicts wall calcifications, MRI reveals the exact anatomic location and nature of the internal and external structures and is the technique used for the early diagnosis, assessment, and follow-up of patients with cardiac hydatid disease.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
