Abstract:
Objecteve To study the relation between the enhanced CT image parameters and metastasis, type of peripheral lung cancer. Methods The enhanced CT image parameters of 138 peripheral lung cancers confirmed by pathology were analyed retrospectively. Both plane scan and contrast-enhanced CT were performed in all the patients, and boundary CT value of each lung cancer was measured. Results Contrast-enhanced CT showed that peripheral lung cancer had big and bent peripheral vessels, and the peripheral density of tumor mass was correlated with its metastasis. The frequency of adenocarcinoma metastasis was higher than that of squamous carcinoma. Conclusion Contrast-enhanced CT was helpful for predicting the latent possibility of peripheral lung cancer metastasis.
