[Value of computerized tomography and nuclear magnetic resonance tomography in diagnosis of tumorous processes of the bronchial system].
In the evaluation of the local and regional spread of tumors of the bronchi, CT and MR provide similar information. CT seems to be the method of choice for the routine work-up, because of the higher spatial resolution, the better availability, and the lower costs. MR should be used if an infiltration of the heart is suspected. MR can used if the relationship of the tumor to the neighboring structures should be visualized other than in the transverse plane preoperatively.
