title: Magnetic resonance imaging of the thorax.
abstract: The role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of thoracic disease is emerging amidst much debate and study. Recent technical advances have led to new applications of this modality, and a reappraisal of previous conclusions seems warranted. This article reviews our 5 1/2 years' experience with thoracic MRI.
