Application of the cine computed tomographic scan for precise localization of the origin of an atrial myxoma: surgical implications.
Noninvasive imaging techniques are preferred for the diagnosis of intracardiac tumors. A case is presented in which cine computed tomographic scan of an atrial myxoma provided more accurate localization of the tumor and led to modification of the operative approach.
