“…Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a better method for evaluating the depth of chest wall invasion [12,13], however, that is actually performed for particular cases such as superior sulcus tumor cases. This study analyzed the relationship between the depth of chest wall invasion and preoperative findings including chest CT and bone scintigraphy, symptoms of chest pain, and the serum levels of ALP and Ca.…”

“…nary neoplasm and the adjacent chest wall (2). Due to these limitations, the authors have developed and tested an application of an image postprocessing technique which accentuates the inherent contrast resolution present within standard MR sequences, is reproducible, and does not depend upon measured values of magnetic relaxation data for reconstruction of the final image.…”

“…MRI in a limited study of patients with chest wall invasion secondary to bronchogenic carcinoma has been shown to be helpful (2). Initial work of the authors has strengthened the above observations and the results of this work led us to believe that image processing techniques would be helpful in demonstrating chest wall invasion since partial volume averaging and insufficient contrast differences between tumor and surrounding chest wall musculature may be present.…”

A postprocessing linear filter was applied to spin-echo images on 10 patients with known or suspected chest wall invasion due to bronchogenic carcinoma. This technique known as eigenimage filtering allows selective feature extraction of suspected abnormalities from conventional MR images. The final result is an image with marked increased contrast range through enhancement of a desired process (tumor) with suppression of an interfering process (e.g., normal surrounding tissue). This preliminary work demonstrates the ease with which the technique may be implemented, the contrast enhancement obtained between the desired and the interfering feature in the final eigenimage, and its ability to correct for partial volume averaging effects. Also demonstrated are artifacts that can interfere with the interpretation of the eigenimage and a method for minimizing these artifacts in the final eigenimage.

This review presents the options and limitations of MRI in non-vascular diseases of the mediastinum and the chest wall. In numerous thoracic pathologies, MRI is a useful supplement to spiral CT. This imaging procedure also allows a contrast-media-free differentiation of solid tumors and vascular lesions (e. g., aortic aneurysms). The advantages of MRI over CT are particularly useful when multiplanar tumor imaging is required prior to surgery to establish the exact spatial relationship between tumor and the other mediastinal structures. Primary indications for MRI in diseases of the mediastinum and chest wall are therefore: (a) tumors of the posterior mediastinum for determining their position in relation to the neural foramina and the spinal canal; (b) chest wall tumors; (c) preoperative multiplanar imaging of primary mediastinal tumors; and (d) contraindications against CT exams with iodine contrast media.
