CMR and MDCT in Cardiac Masses: From Acquisition Protocols to Diagnosis
This e-book, exact in focusing in particular on cardiac plenty, is the results of cooperation between a couple of groups of radiologists operating below the aegis of the French Society of Cardiovascular Imaging (SFICV). Its aim is to one) assessment the several CMR sequences and CT acquisition protocols used to discover cardiac plenty, 2) to illustrate the different CMR and MDCT positive aspects of cardiac plenty.

1. 1. Finger positioning Examination of the radial pulse takes place on both arms at the skin region proximal to the wrist crease, directly above the pulsation of the radial artery. This area is divided into three sections referred to as the three pulse positions: Cun(closest to the wrist crease), Guan(medial to the styloid process of the radius) and Chi (furthermost from the wrist crease) in a region approximately 5 cm in length (Fig. 8). Each pulse site can be further divided into two levels (superficial and deep) or three levels of depth (superficial, middle and deep).
For the brachial artery, the subject's arm is maintained in a relaxed position, ideally being supported by the practitioner's arm and using the forefinger to palpate the pulse. Once the pulse is located, the practitioner uses different increments of pressure to assess the diastolic and systolic components of the pulse pressure wave, assessing variations in pulse contour and pulse strength. This includes assessing the strength of cardiac contraction and consequent pulse pressure rise and amplitude during systole, the duration of the maximum pulse amplitude and the downward diastolic slope.
Dicrotic pulse: Two pulse waves for each heartbeat: a pressure wave from the heart during systole and a reflective pulse wave from the limbs detected during diastole. (Descriptions derived from Amber & Babey-Brooke 1993, O'Rourke & Baunwald 2001a, O'Rourke et al 1992). Drzewiecki et al (1986) assert that manual palpation cannot detect diastolic pressure — the constant, baseline pressure in the blood vessels that is always there — but can be used ‘to determine systolic pressure as long as a palpable pulse is present.
