Abstract

While MRI is an imaging method of first choice in almost all parts of the human body its acceptance for thoracic imaging is rather low even today. One of the reasons is of course that CT has developed dramatically. Multidetector spiral technique (MDCT) allows for isotropic voxels and reconstruction in any user-defined section; the method is robust and fast. The major problem in imaging thoracic organs by MRI is the continuous motion of all components induced by heart pulsation and breathing. Both are most prominent in the lower and anterior sections of the chest. Technical challenges to overcome these effects are one major reason why MRI of the chest was for a long time limited to the posterior chest wall and the thoracic outlet. Both locations are relatively static and could be examined with classical T 1- and T 2-weighted spin-echo and fast spin-echo techniques.
