Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging diffusion weighted imaging(DWI)as a non-radiation and non-invasive examination method, has great help in diagnosis and staging of lung cancer, and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) determination has demonstrated clinical application value in the therapeutic assessment. As an essential complement of CT, MRI-CT imaging infusion improves the accuracy of the target volume sketching in the radiotherapy of lung cancer.
