Fig. 8.7

Lung cancer manifesting as consolidation. (a) Unenhanced axial CT of a 69-year-old woman with non-small cell lung cancer demonstrates consolidation isolated to the right lower lobe (*) with surrounding ground-glass opacity. As this lesion is limited to the right lower lobe, it is designated as T3. (b) Contrast-enhanced axial CT of a 49-year-old woman with multifocal adenocarcinoma demonstrates multifocal consolidation (*) in the left upper lobe and extensive ground-glass opacities in the left lung. As these lesions are present in both lobes of the left lung, the designation is T4. (c) Contrast-enhanced axial CT of a 53-year-old woman with multifocal adenocarcinoma shows consolidation and extensive ground-glass opacities in the lungs bilaterally. As consolidation is present in both lungs, the designation is M1a
