title: [Contribution and limits of x-ray computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in evaluating the extent of primary cancers of the bronchi].
abstract: The authors report the contribution and the limits of CT and MRI in the thoracic and extrathoracic staging of bronchogenic carcinoma. From data of a personal study and of the literature, findings and performances of CT and MRI are reported and compared for the evaluation of mediastinal and parietal extension and in the detection of nodes and metastases. Their respective places and indications are underlined.
