[Magnetic tomography in lung cancer].
Reasonable long-term survival in bronchogenic carcinoma can be expected only if complete resection is performed. Accurate preoperative staging is essential, and computed tomography is not always sufficient as staging investigation. We discuss the indications for magnetic resonance imaging in these patients, and describe the use of this method in three patients. Magnetic resonance imaging should be used as a supplement to computed tomography in selected patients.
