Introduction: Section of the mediastinum into compartments is used to defining the localisation of mediastinal structures, solution at the differential diagnosis of newly found mediastinal masses, to help in planning biopsy and surgical procedures, and to simplify communication among clinicians of multiple disciplines. There are many mediastinal anatomy models in the literature, leading to confusion when defining the mediastinal anatomy. The aim is to reveal this mixed situation and propose a solution.

We divided the mediastinum into three compartments with the lines that look like meridians from the thoracic entrance to the diaphragm. Every compartment was divided into three sub-compartments into each compartment lying in the sternum from the 4-5 and 7-8 thoracal intervertebral disk-level parallel planes using the CT-based mediastinal Compartment (C) model. The mediastinum was divided into 9 compartments with meridians, similar lines, and parallel planes. We hope that this definition can facilitate the description of locations and relations within the mediastinal anatomical structure as well as pathologies. It will also be a first step toward providing a standard for mediastinal anatomy.
