2. Fig 1
Serial short axis view of SSFP, T1W-TSE, T2W-TSE with fat suppression, early and late after gadolinium administration (A to E, respectively), demonstrating thickening of both pericardial layers with a small pericardial effusion. Note that pericardium enhances with contrast.

3. Fig 2
Large pericardial effusion (asterix) seen on SSFP images of 4-chamber view, 3-chamber view and short axis (A-C) and late after gadolinium administration (D).

4. Fig 3
(A) Global thickening of the pericardium (arrows) seen in transverse (A) and short-axis (B) T1-W Turbo spin-echo images and also on the corresponding SSFP images (c-d). Note the bilateral pleural effusions. (B) Functional assessment of ventricular inter-dependence: a shows a normal septal position during expiration and b demonstrates a marked leftward septal shift seen immediately after deep inspiratory effort. White arrows demonstrate the relative change in cavity size due to the septal shift.

A-B, SSFP images of a large pericardial cyst located in the right costophrenic angle (arrows); (C) T1W-TSE and (D) T2W-TSE with fat suppression demonstrating the cystic mass.

8. Fig 7
A well-circumscribed mass (arrow) is seen in the right atrium with high signal intensity on T1W-TSE images (A) and suppressed signal on T2-W TSE with fat suppression (B).

9. Fig 8
Small mass attached to the tricuspid valve seen in a SSFP image (A), with high signal intensity on a T2W-TSE (B) and markedly enhancing on the late gadolinium enhanced images (C-D).

10. Fig 9
Large intramyocardial mass located within the interventricular septum of similar signal intensity to the myocardium seen on SSFP images (A) and significant late gadolinium retention denoting an increased volume of distribution (B). C shows the specimen after surgical resection.

11. Fig 10
Large mass with irregular edges (arrows), occupying the back of the right atrium, extending beyond the borders of the heart with destruction of the myocardial walls (white arrows) seen on HASTE images (A), enhancing with contrast after gadolinium administration (B), showing an inhomogenous signal intensity on T1W-TSE (C) and also seen on SSFP images. A large, hemorrhagic pericardial effusion is also seen. Histology demonstrated an angiosarcoma.

12. Fig 11
Multiple masses present in the myocardium, with irregular borders and local invasion extramyocardially (arrows), seen on T1W-TSE (A), T2W-TSE, enhancing variably with contrast after gadolinium administration (C). The histology later demonstrated an aggressive T-cell lymphoma (D).
