Computed tomography (CT) is a tool that in specific circumstances can be very useful in the diagnosis and management of various diseases of the pericardium. It provides a detailed and global evaluation of the pericardium. CT is especially useful in the characterization of pericardial masses and the precise determination of their size and composition. In addition, it allows the identification of pericardial effusions, the evaluation of pericardial calcification and the detection of difficult to diagnose entities, such as pericardial constriction. These applications make CT an essential tool in the comprehensive approach to pericardial pathology.
