Teaching Points
- CT of the chest is the imaging modality of choice in the assessment of a suspected mediastinal mass
- Often based on CT characteristics of the mass, a diagnosis can be made
- In cases of diagnostic uncertainty, further imaging with MRI or PET scan (particularly if there is a high clinical suspicion of malignancy) may be warranted
