Update of MR Imaging for Evaluation of Lung Cancer
2018, Radiologic Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :However, Çakmak and colleagues85 showed that the minimum ADC performed better than the lesion-to-spinal cord SI ratio, with an area under the receiving operating characteristic curve for the minimum ADC (0.931; 95% CI, 0.868–0.993), which was greater than that for lesion-to-spinal cord SI ratio (0.801; 95% CI, 0.675–0.926; P = .029). Dynamic CE-enhanced MR imaging with 2-dimensional, multislice or 3D SE, turbo SE, and/or GRE sequences has been used for differentiating malignant from benign nodules with 1.5T and 3T MR imaging systems (Table 3).17–20,86–91 Dynamic CE MR imaging has been reported to have a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy ranging from 55% to 100%, 54% to 100%, and 75% to 96%, respectively, in differentiating malignant from benign nodules.17–20,86–91
Diagnostic and clinical utility of dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging in indeterminate pulmonary nodules: a metaanalysis
2016, Clinical ImagingCitation Excerpt :Informativeness may also be represented graphically by a likelihood ratio scattergram or matrix, suggesting that dynamic MRI was useful for confirmation or exclusion of presence of malignant pulmonary nodule (Fig. 7). Since the clinical application of gadolinium contrast material, dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI is being recommended for differentiating malignant from benign nodules and tumors [4,7–16,19–21]. In addition, as a result of advances in MRI systems and pulse sequences, enhancement patterns within nodules and parameters determined from signal intensity–time course curves can be assessed visually.

2010, European Journal of RadiologyCitation Excerpt :Recent technological advances in helical multidetector CT allow precise evaluations of hemodynamic characteristics in tissue. Some authors have reported the usefulness of dynamic CT in the work-up of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) [4–12,19]. Recent studies using manually-defined ROI indicate that enhancement of malignant SPNs is greater than that of benign SPNs depicted on CT scans and MR images [2,3,8,13,20].
