How to read chest CT: mediastinal anatomy

MEDIASTINAL ANATOMY In this video we do something I do every time I look at any CT chest with contrast, and that is following the contrast through the arm into the mediastinum. By doing so I can be sure to assess all of the major structures within the mediastinum and it reduces the chance that I miss something within these structures. I can’t count the number of times I’ve picked up on incidental pulmonary emboli for example.
