In most clinical situations the modern radiological approach to a mediastinal mass consists
of performing a CT scan following the chest radiograph. Magnetic resonance imaging is …

Background Multiple different types of mediastinal masses may be encountered on imaging
techniques in symptomatic or asymptomatic patients. The location and composition of these …

Mediastinal masses represent a vast group of tumours and pseudo-tumours which can
involve the various compartments of the mediastinum. The authors propose a radiologic …

The high soft tissue contrast of MR imaging, relative to other imaging modalities including
computed tomography (CT), enables superior tissue characterization of many lesions …

Mediastinal tumours are frequently asymptomatic and first noted on routine chest
radiograph. In most cases, evaluation should proceed to spiral computed tomography (sCT) …

Mediastinal masses are relatively uncommon, yet include a large variety of entities. Some
tumors can be diagnosed with confidence based on imaging alone; others when a typical …

PURPOSE: To compare the diagnostic accuracy for anterior mediastinal tumors among CT,
MRI, and both CT and MRI, and to determine the optimal CT and MRI procedures for the …

The objective of this study was to compare chest radiography with computed tomography
(CT) in the prediction of a specific diagnosis in adult patients with anterior mediastinal …

The diagnosis of a mediastinal mass may be challenging for clinicians, since lesions arising
within the mediastinum include a variety of disease entities, frequently requiring a …

T he anterior mediastinum is de-marcated by the sternum anteriorly and by the
brachiocephalic vessels, pericardium, and ascending aorta posteriorly. Its superior and …
