Cancer World Newsletter: Imaging in oncology - over a century of advances PDF Print E-mail
Imaging techniques that tell us as much as possible about a cancer are becoming an essential part of the development of precision medicine. This e-grandround presents a unique overview that brings together all the developments in the field from the discovery of X-rays in 1895 to the wealth of techniques using MRI, PET and CT being used and further developed today. This is not just of interest to radiologists. To get the best information they can when selecting therapeutic options and assessing response to that treatment, clinicians need to understand the weaknesses as well as the strengths of each imaging technique, and that no single imaging technique can provide all the answers.
