A2 - Williams, Marcia A2 - Adams, Ann PY - 2020 T2 - Sugarbaker’s Adult Chest Surgery, 3e AB - Chest imaging is a critical diagnostic tool for evaluating thoracic anomalies in anatomic structure and disease. The variety of imaging technologies available for diagnostic evaluation in the chest includes plain-film radiography, computed tomography (CT), positron-emission tomography (PET), concurrent PET/CT, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These radiologic procedures are further enhanced by oral or intravenously administered contrast materials used alone or in combination. The role of radiologic imaging in thoracic surgery is likely to gain even more importance as imaging technologies provide ever more accurate means of visualization.
