    Suprasternal ultrasonography effectively visualizes mediastinal tumors, offering valuable insights for diagnosis and treatment monitoring, especially when computed tomography (CT) is inconclusive.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Mediastinal masses pose diagnostic challenges.
    • Computed tomography (CT) is a primary imaging modality.
    • Limitations of CT include contrast media allergies and challenges in pediatric patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of suprasternal sonography for mediastinal mass assessment.
    • To determine the diagnostic accuracy and utility of this approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Sonographic evaluation using the suprasternal approach in 12 patients with histologically verified mediastinal masses.
    • Comparison with computed tomography (CT) findings.

    Main Results:

    • Sonography visualized 11 out of 12 mediastinal tumors.

  • Masses were typically hypoechoic and perivascular.
  • Suprasternal sonography accurately located masses and determined consistency.
  • It proved useful for detecting small, perivascular lymphomas.

    • Conclusions:

    • Suprasternal sonography is a valuable tool for evaluating mediastinal masses, complementing CT.
    • It offers additional information in challenging cases, including pediatric patients and those with contrast allergies.
    • The technique is suitable for treatment monitoring and image-guided biopsies.
