Key result
Incidental mediastinal vascular anatomical variants are frequently detected on PET-CT, and their recognition is essential for patient management, particularly when surgical options are considered.
PET-CT imaging in oncology can incidentally detect mediastinal vascular anomalies, which may have implications for surgical management.

Positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET-CT) is an integral part of oncology practice in the current-day scenario. The hybrid anatomical and metabolic imaging information in this imaging modality provides access to a wealth of incidental findings which can have implications in the management of the patient, especially when surgical options are being considered. In this pictorial essay, we present incidentally detected mediastinal vascular anomalies on PET-CT, along with a review of associated literature.

Paidipati et al. (2015) conducted a review in Mediastinal vascular anatomical variants. PET-CT was evaluated. Incidental mediastinal vascular anatomical variants are frequently detected on PET-CT, and their recognition is essential for patient management, particularly when surgical options are considered.
