  • Title: Imaging Assessment of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
    Author: Khalilzadeh O, Glover M, Torriani M, Gupta R.
    Journal: Thorac Surg Clin; 2021 Feb; 31(1):19-25. PubMed ID: 33220768.
    Abstract:
    Imaging studies play a significant role in assessment of thoracic outlet syndrome. In this article, we discuss the etiology and definition of thoracic outlet syndrome and review the spectrum of imaging findings seen in patients with thoracic outlet syndrome. We then discuss an optimized technique for computed tomography and MRI of patients with thoracic outlet syndrome, based on the experience at our institution and present some representative examples. Based on our experience, a combination of computed tomography angiography and MRI (with postural maneuvers) effectively demonstrate thoracic outlet syndrome abnormalities.
