Overview
The indication of MRI in lung cancer is when there is a suspicion of spinal cord canal invasion and/or in the presence of pancoast tumor (superior sulcus tumor) and brachial plexus tumors.
MRI
- MRI in lung cancer is indicated when there is a suspicion of:[1][2]
- MRI can be used in the clinical practice for:[3]
- The characterization of solitary pulmonary nodules
- Differentiating lung cancer from secondary changes
- Detection of mediastinal invasion
- Detection of chest wall invasion
- Assessment of mediastinal lymph nodes
- Diagnosis of distant metastasis
- Brain MRI has greater sensitivity than the CT scan in the detection of metastasis.
