Establishing a Chest MRI Practice and its Clinical Applications: Our Insight and Protocols
A 45-year-old female with chronic upper respiratory symptoms and dry cough had an MRI as part of her imaging work-up. Contrasting soft tissue signaling features in the mediastinum can be particularly improved with some MRI techniques such as DWI [] as shown in this case. Based on the imaging features differential considerations included thymoma and left phrenic nerve sheath tumor. Surgery followed with pathology indicating a thymoma with extensive cystic change.
