Respiratory dynamic magnetic resonance imaging for determining aortic invasion of thoracic neoplasms

An accurate radiological method for evaluating the presence or extent of aortic invasion by thoracic cancer is essential in the preoperative setting. The aim of this study was to assess whether respiratory dynamic (RD) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) more accurately detects aortic invasion of mediastinal tumors and lung cancer compared with conventional MRI or computed tomography (CT).Twenty-six patients (19 male, 7 female; mean age, 63.08 ±...
