title: [MR imaging for lung cancer in evaluating local invasion; referring to CT and surgical-histological basis].
abstract: The diagnostic potentiality of MR imaging for lung cancer was researched in 17 patients in evaluating local invasions based on surgical-histological evidence. Comparative reviewing with CT was also performed. MR imaging appeared to have an ability unique to portray malignant invasions somewhere such as in the hili or apices. On the other hand, there were also some diagnostic limitations of MR imaging in delineating the localized invasive changes. On the way of working up lung cancer, CT still may stand at the first choice as a radiographic staging procedure which provides the more detailed anatomic-pathologic informations. We consider that MR imaging is mandatory when CT and/or other modalities could'not obtain efficient results.
