Cancer that starts in another part of the body can spread to the lungs. These secondary deposits may be small and cause no symptoms in early stages. An MRI may show changes in lung tissue that could be consistent with secondary spread. Finding signs of secondary spread to the lungs early may expand treatment options and allows for faster clinical follow up. CT is generally preferred for lung metastasis assessment, however MRI contributes to whole body staging.
