RESUMO
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and computed tomography (CT) were compared in 20 patients who had primary lung tumors, and the results were correlated with findings at surgery and pathologic evaluation. Both studies demonstrated a similar ability to detect hilar and mediastinal tumor. MR imaging detected more enlarged nodes in the mediastinum, but in several patients these enlarged nodes did not contain tumor. Consequently, MR imaging has a slightly higher false-positive rate in the evaluation of the mediastinum. Both modalities were highly sensitive, with specificity limited by the presence of enlarged benign lymph nodes in this series of patients.
