Age‐ and gender‐specific disease distribution and the diagnostic accuracy of CT for resected anterior mediastinal lesions

Anterior mediastinal lesions account for approximately half of all mediastinal masses and computed tomography (CT) is known to exhibit limited differentiating performance. Our aim was to evaluate the age- and gender-specific distribution of anterior mediastinal lesions and the diagnostic accuracy of multi-detector CT (MDCT).This retrospective study included 549 consecutive patients with proven anterior mediastinal lesions and diagnostic MDCT...
