Abstract
日常臨床において肺癌の画像診断はCTに負うところが大きく,MRIは滅多に用いられていないのが現状であるが,近年のMRIの進歩は著しく,大きく遅れていた形態診断も徐々に可能になりつつある.本稿では,MRIによる肺腫瘤性病変の形態診断への応用において,遭遇する技術的問題点とその解決方法,特異な信号パターンを呈する結節性病変,MRIによる浸潤度診断,そして最新の話題についてふれる.
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.
