Pericardial cyst

Chest

A pericardial cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops near the heart. Most are noncancerous and cause no symptoms, often found unexpectedly on imaging. An MRI may show a fluid-filled structure near the heart as an incidental finding. Finding a pericardial cyst provides a baseline for monitoring any changes in size over time.

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.
