DOI: 10.1186/s12968-019-0580-1
Abstract: IntroductionExcretion of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) extracellular gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA) into pleural and pericardial effusions, sometimes referred to as vicarious excretion, has been described as a rare occurrence using T1-weighted imaging. However, the T1… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0276498
Abstract: Background Percutaneous pericardial catheter drainage (PCD) for pericardial effusion is generally known to be limited by the high risk associated with effusions that are less than 10 mm thick. The objective was to report cases… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12051045
Abstract: Pericardial effusions (PEFs) are often missed on Computed Tomography (CT), which particularly affects the outcome of patients presenting with hemodynamic compromise. An automatic PEF detection, segmentation, and classification tool would expedite and improve CT based… read more here.
