Surgery for lung cancer: postoperative changes and complications—what the Radiologist needs to know

Surgery for lung cancer: postoperative changes and complications—what the Radiologist needs to know

Abstract Imaging findings after thoracic surgery can be misleading. Knowledge of the normal post-operative anatomy helps the radiologist to recognise life-threatening complications and conversely not to wrongly evoke a complication in cases of trivial post-operative abnormalities. In this educationa...
