The thoracic inlet is insufficiently investigated by conventional radiographic techniques. CT clearly demonstrates this area free of superimposition. Thorough knowledge of cross sectional anatomy is essential for CT interpretation. There is a wide spectrum of pathology involving the thoracic inlet because its visceral, lymphatic, vascular and nervous structures are connected with many parts of the body. An overview is given on the indispensable role of CT in the investigation of the various pathological entities involving the thoracic inlet.
传统的放射学技术对胸廓入口的检查不够充分。CT能清晰地显示该区域，无结构重叠。全面了解横断面解剖结构对于CT解读至关重要。由于胸廓入口的内脏、淋巴、血管和神经结构与身体的许多部位相连，因此涉及胸廓入口的病理情况多种多样。本文概述了CT在胸廓入口各种病理实体检查中不可或缺的作用。
