  • Title: The value of computed tomography in the diagnosis and management of pediatric mediastinal abnormalities.
    Author: Siegel MJ, Sagel SS, Reed K.
    Journal: Radiology; 1982 Jan; 142(1):149-55. PubMed ID: 7053524.
    Abstract:
    The utility of computed tomography (CT) in evaluation of mediastinal abnormalities was assessed in 23 pediatric patients. By comparison with standard chest radiography, CT provided additional diagnostic information in 82% of the patients. In 65%, the CT findings contributed to a change in clinical management. CT was most useful in documenting a benign process (near-water-density mass or a normal vascular or soft-tissue structure) and in demonstrating the full extent of a malignant tumor.
