Core Tip	With the commercial availability of positron emission tomography- magnetic resonance imaging (PET-MRI) true simultaneous PET and MRI in a single study is real. Several studies have demonstrated the feasibility and incremental value of combined PET and MRI in many clinical applications. A combination of PET and MRI can provide incremental information in many cardiovascular scenarios. Evaluation of cardiac tumors may be most straightforward application for PET-MRI because it offers a unique opportunity to evaluate the tumor morphology, characterization, infiltra­tion to adjacent structures, local and M staging and comprehensive cardiac evaluation in a single study. The purpose of this review is to provide several clinical scenarios on the incremental value of PET and MRI in the evaluation of cardiac masses.
