1) To show the value of thoracic MRI for assessment of parenchymal lung disease. 2) To demonstrate the value of diffusion weighted MRI (DWI) for differentiating benign from malignant lung neoplasms.
In this lecture we will show the clinical ability of thoracic MRI to depict the most common patterns of parenchymal lung diseases, and do the correlation with CT findings. MRI seems to be a valuable tool, without radiation exposure, for management of parenchymal lung disease. We will, also, address the importance of diffusion weighted MRI (DWI) for differentiating benign from malignant lung lesions.
