[Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the normal mediastinum].
Magnetic Resonance (MR) cross sectional images of the normal mediastinum are presented and discussed. In normal subjects most mediastinal structures visible on Computed Tomography (CT) are also visible using MR. The primary advantages of MR over CT in the evaluation of mediastinum are the greater soft tissues contrast resolution, the multiplanar (axial, coronal and sagittal) display of the mediastinal anatomy and its ability to distinguish vascular from nonvascular structures without injection of contrast media.
