The thoracic esophagus is easily demonstrable throughout its entire length on thoracic computed tomography (CT). The soft tissue planes separating the esophagus from its adjacent mediastinal structures are normally distinct. Blurring or distortion of these tissue interfaces is a reliable indicator of disease. The normal CT anatomy of the esophagus and mediastinal relationships are described. Air in the esophagus is considered a normal finding.
在胸部计算机断层扫描(CT)上,胸段食管的全长都很容易显示。将食管与其相邻纵隔结构分隔开的软组织平面通常是清晰的。这些组织界面的模糊或变形是疾病的可靠指标。本文描述了食管的正常CT解剖结构及纵隔关系。食管内有气体被认为是正常表现。
