Echocardiography, Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Differential Diagnosis of a Tumor in the Left Atrium of the Heart
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The differential diagnosis of myxoma vs thrombus in the atria is of extreme importance especially for the patients' follow-up. Moreover, cardiac tumors are very rare but the awareness of this possibility must always be present in the Heart Team and radiologists included.
This work by Zalewska-Adamiec et al. has this aim: to present to the clinical community the presence of these nosological entities and how to deal with them from a diagnostic point of view through the imaging techniques available to date.
