39 patients participated to a study on efficacy of CT scanner combined with the mediastinal insufflation. The results have shown that the images of CT scanner of 30 among 39 these participants were suitable with the total images of the postoperative thymus. The unclear edge of the thymus due to adherence with surround tissue, hypertrophy in a pole, heterogeneous opacity, the density: higher zero (hounsfield unit). The technique of insufflation was simple and little complications. Only insufflation of 200 cm3 gave the clear image in CT scanner.
