A recently published review article in Radiology looks at the value of CT and MR imaging in diagnosing pericard ial disease. Diagnosis of related diseases has improved in recent years, largely due to the availability of several noninvasive cardiac imaging modalities. Transthoracic echocardiography, which combines structural and physiologic assessment,...Read more
