Other tests used to stage lung cancer at diagnosis include: 1  Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). A type of imaging scan that uses magnetic fields to create clear images of body parts, including tissues, muscles, nerves and bones. 2  Positron Emission Tomography (PET). A type of imaging scan that is used to tell if lung cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Cells use sugar (glucose) for energy to function and cancer usually uses more than other cells or tissues. A special sugar solution is injected into the body through a vein.
Scanning techniques include: 1  Computed Tomography (CT): This scan combines an x-ray-type device with a computer. 2  Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): The MRI scanner is a tunnel-shaped piece of equipment. 3  Flow-Sensitive MRI (FS MRI): This type of combines functional MRI with images of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow.
