    Abstract This review focuses on 2 fat-containing entities in the mediastinum that may raise a diagnostic challenge: Morgagni's hernia and Epipericardial (mediastinal) fat necrosis. Familiarity with the typical imaging findings of these 2 entities is vital for the radiologist to recognize and accurately characterize unusual mediastinal pathological conditions.

    Abstract Imaging plays an essential role in the diagnosis and staging of pulmonary malignancy. Familiarity of less common manifestations of lung cancer including subsolid nodule, consolidation, and cyst associated lung cancer is important to avoid delayed diagnosis and improve patient outcomes. In this article, we review the staging of multifocal lung cancer, PET negative lung cancers (carcinoid and indolent lung adenocarcinoma), and false positive lymph nodes on PET due to infectious and inflammatory etiologies. Knowledge of these potential pitfalls and pearls in lung cancer imaging and correlation with patients' clinical history are essential to prevent misinterpretation.

    Abstract Whole body positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) imaging with [18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) is widely used in oncologic imaging. In the chest, common PET/CT applications include the evaluation of solitary pulmonary nodules, cancer staging, assessment of response to therapy, and detection of residual or recurrent disease. Knowledge of the technical artifacts and potential pitfalls that radiologists may encounter in the interpretation of PET/CT in the thorax is important to avoid misinterpretation and optimize patient management. This article will review pitfalls in the interpretation of PET/CT in the chest related to technical factors, physiologic uptake, false positive findings, false negative findings, and iatrogenic conditions.

    Abstract Imaging is integral in the management of patients with thymoma and thymic carcinoma. At initial diagnosis and staging, imaging provides the clinical extent of local invasion as well as distant metastases to stratify patients for therapy and to determine prognosis. Following various modalities of therapy, imaging serves to assess treatment response and detect recurrent disease. While imaging findings overlap, a variety of CT, MRI, and PET/CT characteristics can help differentiate thymoma and thymic carcinoma, with new CT and MRI techniques currently under evaluation showing potential.

    Abstract Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Imaging is integral in accurate clinical staging to stratify patients into groups to predict survival and determine treatment. The eighth edition of the tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM-8) staging system proposed by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer in 2016, accepted by both the Union for International Cancer Control and the American Joint Committee on Cancer, is the current standard method of staging lung cancer. This single TNM staging is used for all histologic subtypes of lung cancer, including nonsmall cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, and bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumor, and it addresses both clinical and pathologic staging. Familiarity with the strengths and limitations of imaging modalities used in staging, the nuances of TNM-8, its correct nomenclature, and potential pitfalls are important to optimize patient care. In this article, we discuss the role of computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography/CT in lung cancer staging, as well as current imaging recommendations pertaining to TNM-8.

    Abstract A wide variety of neoplastic and nonneoplastic conditions occur in the mediastinum. Imaging plays a central role in the evaluation of mediastinal pathologies and their mimics. Localization of a mediastinal lesion to a compartment and characterization of morphology, density/signal intensity, enhancement, and mass effect on neighboring structures can help narrow the differentials. The International Thymic Malignancy Interest Group (ITMIG) established a cross-sectional imaging-derived and anatomy-based classification system for mediastinal compartments, comprising the prevascular (anterior), visceral (middle), and paravertebral (posterior) compartments. Cross-sectional imaging is integral in the evaluation of mediastinal lesions. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are useful to characterize mediastinal lesions detected on radiography. Advantages of CT include its widespread availability, fast acquisition time, relatively low cost, and ability to detect calcium. Advantages of MRI include the lack of radiation exposure, superior soft tissue contrast resolution to detect invasion of the mass across tissue planes, including the chest wall and diaphragm, involvement of neurovascular structures, and the potential for dynamic sequences during free-breathing or cinematic cardiac gating to assess motion of the mass relative to adjacent structures. MRI is superior to CT in the differentiation of cystic from solid lesions and in the detection of fat to differentiate thymic hyperplasia from thymic malignancy.

    Abstract Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in men and women in the United States. Accurate staging is needed to determine prognosis and devise effective treatment plans. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) has made multiple revisions to the tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) staging system used by the Union for International Cancer Control and the American Joint Committee on Cancer to stage lung cancer. The eighth edition of this staging system includes modifications to the T classification with cut points of 1 cm increments in tumor size, grouping of lung cancers associated with partial or complete lung atelectasis or pneumonitis, grouping of tumors with involvement of a main bronchus regardless of distance from the carina, and upstaging of diaphragmatic invasion to T4. The N classification describes the spread to regional lymph nodes and no changes were proposed for TNM-8. In the M classification, metastatic disease is divided into intra- versus extrathoracic metastasis, and single versus multiple metastases. In order to optimize patient outcomes, it is important to understand the nuances of the TNM staging system, the strengths and weaknesses of various imaging modalities used in lung cancer staging, and potential pitfalls in image interpretation.

    Abstract Radiation therapy using conventional or newer high-precision dose techniques, including three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, stereotactic body radiation therapy, four-dimensional conformational radiotherapy, and proton therapy, is an important component of treating patients with lung cancer. Knowledge of the radiation technique used and the expected temporal evolution of radiation-induced lung injury, as well as patient-specific parameters such as previous radiotherapy, concurrent chemoradiotherapy, or immunotherapy, is important in image interpretation. This review discusses factors that affect the development and severity of radiation-induced lung injury and its radiological manifestations, as well as the differences between conventional and high-precision dose radiotherapy techniques.
