Imaging of lung cancer

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally. Imaging is essential in the screening, diagnosis, staging, response assessment, and surveillance of patients with lung cancer. Subtypes of lung cancer can have distinguishing imaging appearances. The most frequently used imaging modalities include chest radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography. Artificial intelligence algorithms and radiomics are emerging technologies with potential applications in lung cancer imaging. & COPY; 2023 Published by Elsevier Inc.
