Abstract

In daily practice, computed tomography (CT) plays a primary role in the assessment of lung cancer. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has rarely been used to view the lung parenchyma, however, recent advances in the software and hardware of MR systems have resulted in better image quality. In this review, we describe several solutions for the problems related to chest MRI, specific signal intensity patterns of various focal pulmonary lesions, evaluation of the chest wall and cardiovascular invasion, and several new topics.<br>
