Image quality and detection efficacy of zero echo time magnetic resonance imaging on Lung-RADS 2 pulmonary ground-glass nodules in comparison to thin-slice fat-saturated T2-weighted imaging.

MRI has the potential to detect and predict the invasiveness of pGGN. Both T2WI-FS and ZTE demonstrate reliable image quality in pulmonary imaging, each displaying strengths in visualizing pGGN. Thin-slice T2WI-FS has a superior detection rate, while ZTE better predicts histological invasiveness.
