Overview
Pattern of involvement is essentially similar to CT scan for mediastinitis.[1]
MRI
Pattern of involvement is essentially similar to CT scan for mediastinitis. Signal characteristics include:[1][2][3]
- T1: typically heterogeneous but overall iso signal to muscle
- T2: variable with both high 3 and low 2-3 signal within the same lesion
- T1 C+ (Gd): may show heterogeneous enhancement
