Overview
MRI, although not routinely used, may have a role in refining the staging and better delineating the extent of the disease in surgical candidates especially with regard to chest wall and diaphragmatic invasion. Findings on MRI include iso- to slightly hyperintense on T1-weighted images and iso- to hyperintense on T2-weighted images. There is enhancement on contrast administration.[1]
MRI
MRI, although not routinely used, may have a role in refining the staging and better delineating the extent of the disease in surgical candidates especially with regard to chest wall and diaphragmatic invasion. The findings on MRI are tabulated below.[1]
| MRI component | Findings |
|---|---|
| T1 | Iso- to slightly hyperintense compared to muscle |
| T2 | Iso- to hyperintense compared to muscle |
| Contrast with gadolinium | Enhancement usually present |
