    Chest wall infiltration of lung cancer is classified as T3 in the TNM system, significantly affecting treatment and prognosis.

  • 2

    The study investigates the diagnostic utility of chest wall vessel involvement (CWVI) sign on ultra-high-resolution CT for lung cancer.

  • 3

    Ultra-high-resolution CT (UHR-CT) offers improved spatial resolution, enabling better detection of minute chest wall vessel involvement.

  • 4

    Two observers independently reviewed UHR-CT images to assess CWVI, rib destruction, pleural effusion, and ground-glass opacity.
