PET/MRI in Lung Cancer

Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of lung cancer, which is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the world.1 Radiography is often the initial modality of diagnosis, but detection depends on the size and density of nodules. The sensitivity of detection may be improved by using the dual-energy subtraction technique, which generates a soft tissue reconstruction that is free of overlapping chest wall and bony structures, or by using tomosynthesis. Computed tomography (CT) has become the established modality for the screening, diagnosis, and staging of lung cancers.
