title: Multiplanar study of the mediastinum with electronically reconstructed computed tomography images.
abstract: 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.
