    Author: Cohen AM, Creviston S, LiPuma JP, Bryan PJ, Lieberman J, Haaga JR, Alfidi RJ.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 1983 Dec; 141(6):1163-9. PubMed ID: 6606312.
    Abstract:
    Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) scans of the mediastinum and/or hili were obtained in 22 of 25 patients selected on the basis of an abnormal CT scan. All patients had proven disease; 19 malignant and four benign processes were studied successfully. The high contrast resolution of NMR in the mediastinum allowed clear definition of disease in all cases. In six, NMR showed a greater extent of disease than CT. The ability of NMR to perform sagittal and coronal images also aided in disease analysis. In this preliminary study, NMR proved to be as useful as CT, or more so, in the evaluation of malignant disease of the hili and mediastinum.
