• Can MRIs detect a lung tumor?

My friend is 60 years old, male, and he's coughing up blood. He's a smoker but he thinks this isn't as big of a deal as we're making it out to be. But his doctor told him that he must have an MRI scan of his lungs. I think they suspect a lung tumor. Can an MRI detect a lung tumor?
