title: [Potentialities of MRI in the differential diagnosis of peripheral lung cancer and inflammatory changes].
abstract: The paper analyzes the authors' own data of chest magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 62 patients with verified peripheral lung cancer and different inflammatory changes (round pneumonic focuses, abscesses, etc.). The MRI signs of peripheral lung cancer are systematized. The additional capacities of contrast enhancement are analyzed. The MRI semiotics of different inflammatory changes has been developed. The differential diagnostic criteria for recognizing peripheral lung cancer and inflammatory changes have been also elaborated.
