Abstract
CT is not sufficient to accurately distinguish malignant nodules from benign nodules.
Thus, patients with benign nodules might undergo invasive diagnostic methods, such as lung biopsy or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, to rule out a malignancy.
MRI performed by using diffusion-weighted (DW) can offer both qualitative and quantitative information that can be helpful for tumour assessment. Moreover, lesion‐to‐spinal cord signal intensity ratio (LSR) has also been shown to be useful for the differentiation of lung lesions. Quantitative tumour assessment is possible by the calculation of ADC.
