Cardiac myxoma

Chest

A cardiac myxoma is the most common primary tumour of the heart. It develops in one of the heart chambers and can cause symptoms by blocking blood flow or shedding emboli, small clots. An MRI may show a mass within a heart chamber consistent with a myxoma. Finding a cardiac myxoma early may allow for surgical removal before it causes embolic stroke or obstruction of heart valves.

SCReening explained

It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
