Typical Lung Cancer CT Findings

PET/CT imaging in lung cancer: indications and findings*

The use of PET/CT imaging in the work-up and management of patients with lung cancer has greatly increased in recent decades. The ability to combine functional and anatomical information has equipped PET/CT to look into various aspects of lung cancer, allowing more precise disease staging and providing useful data during the characterization of indeterminate pulmonary nodules. In addition, the ...

CT Findings of Pleural Dissemination f rom Lung Cancer

prognosis and it is generally considered incurable by surgical resection (1, 2) although extensive resection has been tried in some cases (3, 5). Preoperative diagnosis of pleural metastasis from lung cancer is advantageous since it has been a common cause of unnecessary thoracotomy, so-called open and close operation, in spite of preoperative efforts to assess unresectability (3, 4, 6, 7). Ple...

Recurrent cervical carcinoma: Typical and atypical MRI and CT findings

Malignant versus benign nodules at CT screening for lung cancer: comparison of thin-section CT findings.

PURPOSE To evaluate thin-section computed tomographic (CT) characteristics of malignant nodules on the basis of overall appearance (pure ground-glass opacity [GGO], mixed GGO, or solid opacity) in comparison with the appearance of benign nodules.

CT findings of small cell lung carcinoma

The purpose of this study was to clarify the recognizable computed tomography (CT) features of small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC).Contrast enhanced CT scans were reviewed retrospectively for mass location, mediastinal extension, and other concomitant findings in 142 patients with pathologically proven SCLC. SCLC was classified into hilar mass only (type I), hilar mass with ipsilateral mediastinal...
