C/O breathlessness since January 0000.
To r/o coarctation of aorta.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I. of the thorax was performed using the following parameters:
8 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.5 mm thick T1 Weighted coronal images.5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
5 mm thick MPGR oblique sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :

The visualized ascending aorta, aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta show normal signal characteristics. The origins of the right brachiocephalic, left common carotid and left subclavian arteries are unremarkable. The superior vena cava appears slightly more distended.

No obvious stenosis is noted along the aortic arch or descending thoracic aorta on this study.

A sliver of fluid is seen in the pericardium on the right side suggestive of mild pericardial effusion.

A moderate sized pleural effusion is noted in the right hemithorax.

The hila bilaterally appear to be normal.No enlarged mediastinal lymphnodes are identified.
The trachea and main bronchi do not show any intrinsic lesion.
The visualized cervico-dorsal vertebral bodies, the sternum and the costochondral joints do not reveal any area of altered signal intensity.IMPRESSION :1. Moderate sized right sided pleural effusion.

2. Mild pericardial effusion.

3. No obvious stenosis is noted along the visualized thoracic aorta on this study.
