Overview
The indication of MRI in lung cancer is when there is a suspicion of spinal cord canal invasion, Pancoast tumors i.e superior sulcus tumors, and brachial plexus tumors.
Lung Cancer MRI
- The MRI in lung cancer is indicated when there is a suspicion of:[1][2]
- Spinal cord canal invasion
- Pancoast tumors i.e superior sulcus tumors
- Brachial plexus tumors
- MRI can be used in the clinical practice for:[3]
- The characterization of solitary pulmonary nodules
- Differentiating lung cancer from secondary changes
- Mediastinal invasion
- Detection of chest wall invasion
- Assessment of mediastinal lymph nodes
- Diagnosis of distant metastasis
- The brain MRI has greater sensitivity than the CT scan in the detection of metastasis.
