Abstract
Tumor volumetrics is currently being explored as a means of enhancing the accuracy of clinical staging of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). In a recent multicenter study (JTO 2016, 11(8):1335-1344) evaluating feasibility of volume estimation using CT (VolCT), clinical staging by CT was poorly correlated between readers and underestimated pathological stage, but correlation of VolCT estimates between two experienced readers was high (rho = 0.82). MR has been found superior to CT in evaluating certain staging parameters, and may enhance volumetrics based on improved contrast.
