The visceral or middle mediastinum contains nonvascular (trachea, carina, esophagus, and lymph nodes) and vascular structures (heart, ascending aorta, aortic arch, descending aorta, superior vena cava, intrapericardial pulmonary arteries, thoracic duct).
The various pathologies of the visceral mediastinum and imaging features are presented.
Plain film radiography shows the gross anatomy and allows visualization of larger pathologies. However, for detailed anatomic and structural classification more sophisticated imaging techniques are required. Especially computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET) are well suited for structural and functional assessment of mediastinal lesions.
This article summarizes the major pathologies of the visceral mediastinum.
内脏或中纵隔包含非血管结构（气管、隆突、食管和淋巴结）和血管结构（心脏、升主动脉、主动脉弓、降主动脉、上腔静脉、心包内肺动脉、胸导管）。
介绍内脏纵隔的各种病变及其影像学特征。
平片可显示大体解剖结构，能观察到较大的病变。然而，要进行详细的解剖和结构分类，则需要更先进的成像技术。特别是计算机断层扫描（CT）、磁共振成像（MRI）和正电子发射断层扫描（PET）非常适合对纵隔病变进行结构和功能评估。
本文总结了内脏纵隔的主要病变。
