Multiplanar study of the mediastinum with electronically reconstructed computed tomography images.
Refinements of computer software permit electronic reconstructions of CT sagittal, parasagittal, and coronal planes, which have markedly improved our understanding of the relations among mediastinal structures, most of which present a vertical course, as well as between focal lesions and adjoining structures.
