Synopsis

Chest scans were performed on 42 lung cancer patients using MRI and CT scanners to calculate ECV. Using one-way analysis of variance, the ECV calculated based on CT is statistically different between SCLC and NSCLC, there is no statistical difference between squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma, and the ECV calculated based on MRI is statistically different among the three.It can be seen that ECV can be accurate and non-invasive assessment of the pathological type of lung cancer, and MRI-ECV has a higher diagnostic efficiency than CT-ECV, can provide some help for the choice of clinical treatment options.
