ACR Appropriateness Criteria® noninvasive clinical staging of bronchogenic carcinoma.
In order to appropriately manage patients with lung cancer, it is necessary to properly stage the tumor. The ACR Appropriateness Criteria is designed to provide an overview of the value of different imaging techniques in the non-invasive staging of lung cancer and allow for the rational selection of imaging studies to arrive at the appropriate clinical stage.
