Abstract

Objective To make a research on the value of CT dual-phase scanning in the diagnosis of lung cancer with mediastinal lymph node metastasis (MLNM) in right upper lobe. Methods To analyze the CT images of 60 patients with lung cancer identified by surgery from May 2014 to March 2016 in our hospital. At the same time, the types of tumor, the degree of enhancement and mediastinal lymph node metastasis were classified and analyzed. Results The results of analysis showed the total diagnostic rate was 91.7%. And the pathological types were as follows: the index of the squamous cell carcinoma is 93.3%, adenocarcinoma: 90%, small cell carcinoma: 93.3% and squamous adenocarcinoma: 90%. MLNM of lung cancer was confirmed as 90%. Conclusion The clinical effect of of CT dual-phase scanning in the diagnosis of lung cancer with MLNM is worthy to be further applied.
