Normal anatomy of the thoracic inlet as seen on transaxial MR images.

摘要: The thoracic inlet can now be studied with high-resolution MR imaging. Recent advances in fold-over suppression (antialiasing software) allow for small fields of view without the usual problems aliasing from shoulders. This pictorial assay shows normal anatomy that seen this area on transaxial images. vagus, phrenic, and recurrent laryngeal nerves as discrete entities. imaging used more often pathologic conditions involving lower portion neck inlet.
