Sagittal or coronal thoracic magnetic resonance (MR) images were obtained in 7 individuals - 4 normal subjects and 3 patients with thoracic masses. In 2 of the abnormal cases, sagittal or coronal MR provided significant anatomic information that was either less evident or invisible on transaxial MR or computed tomographic (CT) images or CT reformations. In the third abnormal patient, a pretracheal lymph node was more clearly seen on transaxial images than on coronal images.
