May aid differentiation of high-riding pericardial recess from mediastinal lesions on CT; leaves open prospective validation.
Can narrow-collimation CT with multiplanar reformations differentiate a high-riding superior pericardial recess from mediastinal lymphadenopathy or mass?
Narrow-collimation CT with multiplanar reformations is an effective imaging technique to differentiate a high-riding superior pericardial recess from mediastinal masses or lymphadenopathy.
