Fig. 3

Additional cardiovascular magnetic resonance images centered at the right atrial appendage aneurysm. On balanced fast field echo using SENSE technique in axial orientation (a), the intraluminal signal of the RAA aneurysm is lower than that of the bright blood pool in the right and left ventricles, except for the area of high signal intensity at the right atrial appendage tip. On T1 spin echo in axial orientation without fat saturation (b) and with fat saturation (c) the blood in the right atrial appendage has intermediate signal intensity and does not follow the dark blood signal in the right ventricle. On the T2 short-tau inversion relaxation sax image (d), there is high signal intensity in the right atrial appendage in contrast to the blood pool in the ventricles on the post-contrast sax image (e), the signal in the RAA is similar to the blood pool in the right ventricle and left ventricle. There is no wall or intraluminal enhancing component. A, RAA aneurysm; RV, right ventricle; LV, left ventricle
