In imaging of the mediastinum, advances in computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology enable improved characterization of mediastinal masses. Knowledge of the boundaries of the mediastinal compartments is key to accurate localization. Awareness of distinguishing imaging characteristics allows radiologists to suggest a specific diagnosis or narrow the differential. In certain situations, MRI adds value to further characterize mediastinal lesions.
在纵隔成像中,计算机断层扫描(CT)和磁共振成像(MRI)技术的进步使纵隔肿块的特征得以改善。了解纵隔腔室的边界是准确定位的关键。了解区分影像学特征可以使放射科医生提出特定的诊断或缩小鉴别诊断范围。在某些情况下,MRI 有助于进一步对纵隔病变进行特征描述。
