A diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis is suggested by the presence of pericardial thickening (>=4 mm in thickness) and abnormal motion of the interventricular septum. Additional findings have been reported: tubular appearance of the right or left ventricles, dilatation of the vena cava, atrial dilatation or abnormal diastolic expansion of one or both ventricles. In patients with suspected chronic pericarditis, CT can more easily demonstrate the presence of pericardial calcifications compared to US and MRI, as well as detect the presence of mediastinal adenopathy and lung lesions, suggesting tuberculosis. Septal motion analysis should be performed during protodiastole and systole using a cine technique with both CT and MR.
