The thoracic duct is the main lymphatic vessel of the body, running through the chest. Abnormalities including widening or blockage can cause lymphatic fluid to leak into surrounding spaces. An MRI may show changes in the thoracic duct region consistent with an abnormality. Finding a thoracic duct abnormality early allows for investigation into its cause and treatment that may help prevent significant lymphatic complications.
