[Preoperative staging of bronchial carcinoma. Value of magnetic resonance in comparison with computed tomography].
The results of MR and CT examinations for tumour staging were compared in 30 patients with bronchial carcinomas. They were also related to operability. The findings have been compared with the data in the previous literature. The results have shown both methods to be of equal value. The differentiation between tumour tissue and vascular structures is somewhat better shown by magnetic resonance, but peripheral and bone involvement is better shown on CT. These results require further examinations as well as operative and histological confirmation.
