Description
Introduction. The aims of this work is to highlight the value of radio imaging explorations in diagnosing and monitoring the evolution of mediastinal masses, with the discovery of several clinical-morphological and anatomical connections emphasizing the importance of their discovery, in the staged and post-therapeutic evaluation of tumor or non tumoral pathology, with medias- tinal localizations. The main objectives of this study are: Detection of radio imaging diagnostic criteria (radiographic, ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic reso- nance) of mediastinal masses: Study of the "pattern" of the extent of different morbid entities with primary or secondary locations Detecting some clinical-morphological and anatomical links with imaging aspects; Evidence of topo-etiological correlations of mediastinal measures; Highlighting the impact of diagnosing mediastinal measures and the evolutionary stage on therapeutic responsibility; Verification of the diagnostic potential of each imaging method partly in the analysis and determination of the real extent of various mediastinal morbid processes; Establishing some correlations between the morphological, etiological and clinical aspects and prevalence mediastinal measures. Material And Method. Considering the large etiopathogenic variability of mediastinal masses, with crucial therapeutic and prognostic implications and the necessity of their diagnosis as soon as possible, the current study is a retrospective statis tical analysis consisting of 120 cases examined in the Radiology Clinic at the University Clinical Center of Kosovo and Prima imag- ing center, Pristina. All patients are clinically researched and with radiologic imaging examinations: Radiography, Ultrasonogra- phy, Computerized Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging and in some cases histological examinations to establish diagno- sis, precision pathology extent, therapeutic responsibility and, in some cases, post-therapeutic evaluation. Conclusion. Evaluation of mediastinum with the help of modern imaging methods is an important consideration, with ap- plicability within the numerous diseases affecting this anatomical region, in particular, mediastinal measures and various space- replacing processes.
