Pleural invasion in patients with peripheral lung cancer may be accurately evaluated in the pre-operative phase thanks to new 4D dynamic-ventilation CT

    A recent study from European Radiology evaluated the accuracy of 4D dynamic-ventilation CT scans associated with new imaging analysis software in order to assess pleural invasion in patients with peripheral pulmonary cancer prior to intervention. Results showed that this approach achieved a perfect diagnostic accuracy in the selected population compared to conventional CT.
