Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, 35294, USA.

MRI was used to diagnose a mediastinal mass in a elderly patient with previous repair of aortic coarctation. MRI excluded aneurysm by demonstrating a homogeneous mass encasing aorta and the bypass graft. A second thoracotomy was avoided. Moreover, outpatient testing was performed, without exposure to contrast agents, ionizing radiation, or an invasive procedure.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.
