MRI for T staging. Axial images of a 57-year-old patient with T2aN2M0 NSCLC with associated distal lung consolidation. (A) Integrated F-18-FDG PET image shows 5.6 cm left infra-hilar mass with high FDG uptake (SUV max 14.4); (B) CT image on lung windowing and (C) CT image on mediastinal windowing demonstrate the challenge in differentiating surrounding normal tissues from tumour; (D) apparent diffusion co-efficient and (E) diffusion-weighted MRI demonstrate high contrast in tumour (F) T1 radial VIBE MRI. MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; NSCLC, non-small cell lung cancer; VIBE, volume interpolated breath-hold examination.
