2 FIGURE 1 Change Over Time in the Use of Multi-Modality Mediastinal Staging. Single modality staging refers to patients who underwent chest computed tomography (CT). Bi-Modality staging refers to patients who underwent chest CT and positron emission tomography (PET) or invasive staging. Tri-Modality staging refers to patients who underwent chest CT, PET, and invasive staging.

Single modality staging refers to patients who underwent chest computed tomography (CT) (solid line). Bi-Modality staging refers to patients who underwent chest CT and positron emission tomography (PET) or invasive staging (long dash). Tri-Modality staging refers to patients who underwent chest CT, PET, and invasive staging (dot).
