Abstract:
The search for metastases to the lung parenchyma and other intrathoracic structures is a commonly encountered problem. The radiographic appearance of intrathoracic metastases is varied, and multiple imaging modalities may aid in their detection. Knowledge of relative frequency, growth rates, and mechanisms of spread may guide the sequence of radiographic studies.
