The anatomic structures of the heart and mediastinum can be demonstrated with MRI in three dimensions in their topographic order without contrast medium or heart catheterization. Furthermore, differentiation of the tracheobronchial system and the mediastinal lymph nodes can be discerned with MRI. MRI offers the advantages of reducing invasive diagnostic procedures, eliminating radiation hazards and avoiding the risks of contrast media. Only in the area of the structures adjacent to the diaphragm an improvement of the images by means of additional respiratory-gating is desirable. Concerning tumors in the mediastinum, MRI supplies essential information for the planning of therapy.
心脏和纵隔的解剖结构可以通过磁共振成像（MRI）在三维空间中按其解剖顺序显示，无需使用造影剂或进行心导管检查。此外，MRI还可以区分气管支气管系统和纵隔淋巴结。MRI具有减少侵入性诊断程序、消除辐射危害和避免造影剂风险等优点。只有在膈肌附近的结构区域，通过额外的呼吸门控来改善图像是可取的。对于纵隔肿瘤，MRI为治疗方案的制定提供了重要信息。
