N2  - Functional MRI of the mediastinum can be used as a virtual noninvasive  biopsy with diagnostic potential to differentiate between benign and malignant  mediastinal masses. The current study showed that the ADC values of  malignant mediastinal lesions were significantly lower than those of benign  lesions and hence determined an ADC cut off values to differentiate between  them. Similarly, the current study found that chemical shift sequences together  with calculated chemical shift ratio and signal intensity index were highly  specified diagnostic tools for differentiating thymic lesions
