Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a dynamically inducible neurovascular compression syndrome. Clinical diagnosis is often difficult and requires the use of imaging procedures. Imaging is essential in determining the anatomic stuctures undergoing compression, the location of the compression and the anatomic structures responsible for it. Radiographs of cervical spine should be obtained to assess for bone abnormalities. Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and sonography in association with dynamic maneuvers are valuable techniques in analyzing the neurovascular compression.

“…Scalene muscle variation can affect nerve roots of the brachial plexus as they emerge between the anterior and middle scalene. [10][11][12] An accessory scalene muscle or scalenus minimus may vary in its origin from C6 or C7 and inserts into the scalene tubercle of the first rib or cervical pleura of the lung and this can also cause TOS. [12][13][14] Anomalies such as fibromuscular bands extending between the transverse process of a cervical vertebra and the first thoracic rib were described by Roos.…”

"Thoracic outlet syndrome" is a term that covers a range of conditions and abnormalities causing a variety of presentations and symptoms. In order to assess and treat this group of conditions, careful consideration needs to be given to individual presentations to tailor appropriate clinical and imaging tests. There is no single test available for the definitive diagnosis and assessment of this group of conditions. This article aims to present an up-to-date review with particular focus on the diagnosis and relevance of the different imaging modalities. Chest radiography allows identification of bony abnormalities and apical lung tumors. Ultrasonography is useful in cases of suspected acute thrombosis of the upper limb. Computed tomography combined with computed tomography angiography provides a useful overview of the anatomical and vascular structures. Magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography are now widely used methods of assessment for vascular thoracic outlet syndrome, allowing dynamic assessment of the thoracic outlet, with good soft tissue contrast allowing for visualization of a wider range of pathologies than other imaging methods.
