Detection of cardiac myxoma by F-18 FDG PET

Clin Nucl Med. 1999 Mar;24(3):159-60. doi: 10.1097/00003072-199903000-00003.

Abstract

Intracardiac tumors occur infrequently and are difficult to diagnose with CT and MRI. The authors describe the successful imaging of a right atrial myxoma with F-18 FDG PET.
