OBJECTIVE To evaluate the potential role of three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) in assessment of pleural invasion by peripheral bronchogenic carcinoma. METHODS Twenty-four-second helical CT scans were obtained during a single breath hold in 42 consecutive patients with peripheral bronchogenic carcinoma. Conventional two-dimensional (2D) images and 3D reconstruction images were reviewed independently by three blinded observers, who reached a decision by consensus. All patients underwent surgical resection of the tumor, and CT findings were correlated with the findings in pathologic specimens. RESULTS Twelve patients had visceral pleural invasion, five had parietal pleural invasion, and 25 had no evidence of pleural invasion. Visceral pleural invasion was identified on 2D CT images in two patients and on 3D reconstructions in 11. Parietal pleural invasion was identified on 2D CT images in two patients and on 3D reconstructions in three. CONCLUSIONS 3D reconstruction imaging is superior to conventional 2D CT in assessment of pleural invasion by peripheral bronchogenic carcinoma.

D010994 Pleura The thin serous membrane enveloping the lungs (LUNG) and lining the THORACIC CAVITY. Pleura consist of two layers, the inner visceral pleura lying next to the pulmonary parenchyma and the outer parietal pleura. Between the two layers is the PLEURAL CAVITY which contains a thin film of liquid. Parietal Pleura,Visceral Pleura,Pleura, Parietal,Pleura, Visceral
D010997 Pleural Neoplasms Neoplasms of the thin serous membrane that envelopes the lungs and lines the thoracic cavity. Pleural neoplasms are exceedingly rare and are usually not diagnosed until they are advanced because in the early stages they produce no symptoms.
