Pancoast Tumor: The Role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Figure 8

MIP reformatted DW image on the coronal plane which shows the integrity of the brachial plexus. DW imaging makes the radiologist able to selectively identify nervous structures, which have a strong signal intensity and are then clearly visible between the other components of the superior sulcus (which conversely are hypointense). Postprocessing MIP technique allows assessment of the entire brachial plexus.
