We evaluated the effectiveness of three-dimensional (3D) CT for pleural indentation or invasion by peripheral lung cancer adjacent to pleura. Pleural indentation was shown in three of nine cases on conventional CT, and six cases were demonstrated three-dimensionally. 3D-CT was superior to conventional CT in demonstrating pleural indentation. Pleural invasion could not be assessed on 3D-CT because the pleura adjacent to the tumor was not visualized.
