Abstract:Objective: MRI as a non-ionizing modality can be a complementary tool for nodules assessment. This study is aimed to evaluate the potential of the combined conventional and modified anatomical MRI sequences for differential diagnosis of invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC) and tuberculoma.
Materials and methods:Sixty-seven patients (median 54 years, range 18-82 years) with 82 noncalcified nodules (mean 19.56±6.85 mm, range 7-30 mm) underwent CT and MRI (T1WI-starVIBE, T1WI-VIBE, T2WI-TSE-fBLADE). Two radiologists ind… Show more
