Abstract


Aims&Objectives:To study the role, assess reliability and compare the findings of MRI & Histopathology in mediastinal lesions. Methods: Total 62 patients of all age group with strong clinical suspicion of mediastinal lesions were included. MRI & Histopathology was performed in all patients and findings were analyzed. Results: Sensitivity of MRI in detection of mediastinal lesions was 97.5%, specificity was 83.3%,with positive predictive value of 95.5% and negative predictive value was 90.9%. Posterior mediastinum (40.3%) was the most commonly involved compartment in our study. Pott’s spine was the most common posterior mediastinal lesion in our study 14.5%. In anterior mediastinum, lymphoma was the most common lesion 14.5%. Conclusion: mediastinal MRI has outstanding results in early detection and characterization of mediastinal lesions especially, the extension and invasion of lesions and provides good preoperative assessment of lesions.
