Overview

Conventional chest radiography is the initial imaging method of choice for the diagnostic evaluation of non-small cell lung cancer. The initial evaluation of suspected non-small cell lung cancer will depend upon the results of the chest X-ray. Further evaluation of suspected non-small cell lung cancer include enhanced CT scan (thorax, upper abdomen, and low neck) or MRI imaging. Imaging features for the evaluation of non-small cell lung cancer include location (central, peripheral, or pleural lesion), mass characteristics (size, shape, and margins), the presence of cavitation, and type of adenopathy (hilar or mediastinal). Other imaging and diagnostic modalities, such as endoscopic ultrasound, bronchoscopy, or mediastinoscopy, may help determine and precise staging of non-small cell lung cancer.
