Computed tomography of the mediastinum.
Computed tomography is the radiographic examination of choice for evaluation of the mediastinum. Information regarding the size, shape, extent, density, and vascularity of mediastinal masses can be obtained non-invasively. Mediastinal lesions not seen on routine radiographs can be visualized by CT, allowing for earlier detection of disease.
