Abstract The evaluation of pulmonary nodules is one of the most frequently encountered challenges in thoracic radiology The study of tumor neo angiogenesis is currently a leading theme in oncology; it has become challenging goal for radiologists to assess noninvasively the physiology of the tumor microcirculation, in addition to conventional morphology. Angiogenesis is now extensively studied by dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging. Recent clinical studies have shown that DCE-MRI can assess tumor aggressiveness and measure tumor response to therapy The aim of this work is to evaluate the role of dynamic contrast-enhanced Magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in diagnosis of pulmonary nodules The study was a cross-sectional study that was conducted on 60 patients with lung nodules referred to Radio diagnosis and imaging department from chest and oncology departments of Tanta University Hospital. The study was conducted through the period from September 2018 to September 2019. |
