Among different imaging modalities multislice-computed tomography (MSCT) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)are routinely used for patient screening. We sought to evaluate the diagnostic performance of cardiac magnetic resonance tomography (CMR) in this setting, and the difference in diameter measurements between all 3 imaging modalities. …
