From a technical point of view, the feasibility of using MRI for lung cancer screening is evident. Experience with the clinical use of lung MRI is growing, standardized protocols are available. If lung cancer screening becomes effective, there will be an opportunity for MRI as primary screening modality or adjunct to CT. Validation of better patient outcomes (test effectiveness) for the use of MRI is still missing, therefore. A simultaneous evaluation of MRI should be embedded into any future prospective lung cancer screening trials.
