Özet

Background and objectiveWe evaluated the added value of dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) to CT in the evaluation of cystic-cavitary lung lesions. We aimed to compare morphological parameters, including wall thickness and inner wall irregularity, and to determine whether DCE-MRI with morphological and dynamic parameters was useful in indeterminate lesions. We also aimed to investigate the added value of DCE-MRI in terms of whether to biopsy, and if so the site of biopsy.
