Mediastinal lymph nodes segmentation using 3D convolutional neural network ensembles and anatomical priors guiding [PDF]
, 2021 As lung cancer evolves, the presence of enlarged and potentially malignant lymph nodes must be assessed to properly estimate disease progression and select the best treatment strategy. Following the clinical guidelines, estimation of short-axis diameter and mediastinum station are paramount for correct diagnosis.

The Mediastinal Visceral Space: The Central Pathway for the Spread of Mediastinal Disease
Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2022 AbstractThe connective tissue of the mediastinal visceral space extends from the neck through the chest and into the abdomen. This connective tissue encases the esophagus and tracheobronchial tree and is bounded by the perivisceral fascia. The continuous longitudinal and axial interconnection of the mediastinal visceral space accounts for commonly ...

Optimizing the endoscopic diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy: a glimpse on cryobiopsy
BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2022 Etiological diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy represents a daily challenge. Endosonography (transesophageal and transbronchial ultrasound-guided needle aspiration) is the recommended technique in the first diagnostic work-up and in the mediastinal

Automated recognition of the pericardium contour on processed CT images using genetic algorithms [PDF]
Computers in Biology and Medicine, Volume 87, 2017, Pages 38-45,
ISSN 0010-4825, 2022 This work proposes the use of Genetic Algorithms (GA) in tracing and recognizing the pericardium contour of the human heart using Computed Tomography (CT) images. We assume that each slice of the pericardium can be modelled by an ellipse, the parameters of which need to be optimally determined.

Mediastinal irradiation and valvular heart disease
Cardio-Oncology, 2022 AbstractAnticancer therapy has the potential to cause unwanted cardiovascular side effects. Utilization of radiation therapy to treat tumors near the heart can result in radiation-induced valvular heart disease among other cardiovascular pathologies. The aim of this review is to describe the epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk prediction, non-invasive ...

A multilocular thymic cyst associated with mediastinal seminoma: evidence for its medullary epithelial origin highlighted by POU2F3-positive thymic tuft cells and concomitant myoid cell proliferation [PDF]
, 2021 Multilocular thymic cyst (MTC) and germ cell tumors are common diseases that impact the mediastinum. Correctly diagnosing these diseases can be difficult because several other conditions can mimic them.
