A member asked:

Would a cardiac mri also be able to visualise any abnormalities in the upper chest area, such as lymphoma???

Dr. Michael Gabor answered

Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

Possibly: but since it is specifically tailored for the purpose of looking at the heart, it may not be optimal for evaluating other structures in and around the chest.
