However, the clinical use of lung MRI for characterizing and staging cancer is increasing because of its superior tissue characterization and ability to perform without radiation exposure, including contrast-enhanced or dynamic breathing studies and diffusion-weighted images, in comparison to CT scans. I will review the role of lung MRI in the characterization of solitary pulmonary nodules and the T, N, and M staging of lung cancer. |
