Various noninvasive diagnostic techniques, such as chest radiography, computed
tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI), are currently available for assessing intrathoracic nodal status. 1 The lymph nodes
distributed through the mediastinum and hila are best understood by correlation with CT and
magnetic resonance (MR) cross-sectional images. 2, 3 In particular, imaging of mediastinal
or hilar lymph node disorders includes enlargement and abnormal density on chest …
