Overview

Other diagnostic studies for mediastinitis include positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET/CT), which demonstrates increased fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake at the right hilar mass lesion and mediastinal lymph nodes, which is considered abnormal.[1]


Other imaging findings

Other diagnostic studies for mediastinitis include positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET/CT), which demonstrates increased fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake at the right hilar mass lesion and mediastinal lymph nodes, which is considered abnormal. Additionally, fiberoptic bronchoscopy may demonstrate mucosal distortion of right upper lobe.[1]
