Ressonância magnética de pulmão: um novo passo no estudo das doenças pulmonares

Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lung has progressed tremendously in recent years. Because of improvements in speed and image quality, MRI is now ready for routine clinical use. The main advantage of MRI of the lung is its unique combination of structural and functional assessment in a single imaging session. We review the three major clinical indications for MRI of the lung: staging of lung tumors; evaluation of pulmonary vascular disease; and investigation of pulmonary abnormalities in patients who sh… Show more

“…Because of improvements in speed and image quality, MRI is now ready for routine clinical use. (7)(8)(9) In both of the cases presented here, chest MRI revealed hydropneumothorax and well-defined, rounded nodules on the pleural surface in the right hemithorax. In Case 1, the pleural effusion had intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted images, suggesting high protein content, probably related to hemorrhagic products.…”

“…Such a gain in quality represented a progress in the diagnostic performance of the method, allowing for a more appropriate evaluation of chest lesions as compared with the performance observed in the past ( 8 , 9 ) . The evaluation of the traditional morphological parameters such as size, shape, contours and relationship with adjacent structures, has significantly evolved, improving the therapeutic planning ( 6 ) . The introduction of dynamic parameters such as cine-MRI has added new information regarding infiltration of chest wall, mediastinal and vascular structures, strengthening the resectability criteria during the therapeutic planning ( 26 ) .…”

“…However, patients with focal disease should be submitted to treatments that offer real possibilities of healing ( 4 , 5 ) . Therefore, it is important the imaging diagnosis tools provide accurate information about the location, number of lesions, tumor extent, disease activity and biomarkers ( 6 ) . Currently, the set of such information is imprescindible for the most appropriate management of cancer patients, including those with malignant chest tumors ( 6 , 7 ) .…”

“…Other complaints are chest pain, chronic cough, peripheral edema, cyanosis, and syncope. ( 3 ) Hemoptysis can be a very useful sign in order to differentiate PCH from pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD), because it is not found in PVOD.…”
