Pleural mesothelioma is a cancer of the lining of the lungs strongly linked to past asbestos exposure. It can develop decades after exposure and may cause no obvious symptoms initially. An MRI may show thickening or changes in the pleural lining consistent with mesothelioma. Finding pleural mesothelioma early may expand the treatment options available before the disease becomes advanced. MRI is useful for assessing chest wall and diaphragmatic invasion in pleural mesothelioma, complementing CT in staging assessment.
