title: Lung cancer imaging.
abstract: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the US. Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis, staging, and follow-up evaluation of patients with lung cancer. With recent advances in technology, it is important to update and standardize the radiological practices in lung cancer evaluation. In this article, the authors review the main clinical applications of different imaging modalities and the most common radiological presentations of lung cancer.
