Noninvasive imaging modalities continue to offer opportunities in the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer. Positron emission tomography with fluorodeoxyglucose imaging in lung cancer represents an important, new, and accurate tool in the armamentarium of the radiologist. Computed tomography scanning, MR imaging, and PET play a significant role in the selection of patients for curative lung cancer surgery, decreasing the number of unnecessary thoracotomies. The imaging modalities also help to direct the choice of appropriate invasive and surgical procedures.
非侵入性成像方式在肺癌的诊断和分期方面持续提供机会。肺癌的氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描成像代表着放射科医生武器库中一项重要、新颖且准确的工具。计算机断层扫描、磁共振成像和正电子发射断层扫描在选择适合进行肺癌根治性手术的患者方面发挥着重要作用，减少了不必要的开胸手术数量。这些成像方式还有助于指导选择合适的侵入性和外科手术程序。
