Congenital and Acquired Mediastinal Vascular Disorders in Children

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Pediatric Chest Imaging

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

Abstract

Congenital thoracic vascular anomalies may involve the thoracic aorta and its branches, pulmonary arteries and veins, as well as the thoracic systemic veins. Technical improvements in multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), now allow for the noninvasive preoperative and postoperative imaging evaluation of the majority of these anomalies. The addition of 3D imaging provides comprehensive 3D displays for real-time and interactive interpretation and treatment guidance (Hellinger et al. 2011; Kondrachuk et al. 2012; Lee et al. 2010). In this chapter, the current imaging techniques of MDCT and MRI are reviewed, followed by a discussion on the commonly encountered thoracic congenital and acquired mediastinal vascular anomalies in pediatric patients.
