Detection of pulmonary nodules using spin-echo magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was compared with detection using computed tomography (CT). Of the 25 patients studied independently by two radiologists, no lung nodules were detected in 11 (CT or MR), ten had a single nodule, and four had multiple nodules. The lesions not seen using CT or MR were less than 1.3 cm in diameter. The greater spatial resolution of CT enabled better detection of nodules close to the diaphragm, the pleura, or to each other, whereas the better contrast resolution of MR enabled the detection of several nodules close to blood vessels. With MR, nodules were best seen on images with long repetition times (2.0 sec). Most pulmonary nodules are seen using both CT and MR. CT generally enables the detection of more small nodules than MR does, and some low-density nodules near blood vessels are better displayed using MR.
