Imaging in Oncology

Imaging in neuro-oncology

Imaging plays several key roles in managing brain tumors, including diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response assessment. Ongoing challenges remain as new therapies emerge and there are urgent needs to find accurate and clinically feasible methods to noninvasively evaluate brain tumors before and after treatment. This review aims to provide an overview of several advanced imaging modalities ...

Molecular imaging in oncology.

In vivomedical imaging is performed by administering energy to the body and measuring, with spatial localisation, the energy that is transmitted through, emitted from or reflected back from various organs and tissues. The difference between the administered and the recorded energy provides information about the properties of the matter with which the energy interacted. The energy most commonly ...

Pitfalls in paediatric oncology imaging

Imaging a new mass lesion in a child requires careful consideration of a variety of issues. The age of the child is an important factor in determining the appropriate test to start with and the age also helps provide an appropriate differential diagnosis, which can then be used to guide further imaging. The long-term outcome for most children with cancer is very good, with over 70% achieving 5-...

Imaging response assessment in oncology

The role of imaging in the clinical setting as well as in the drug development process is expanding rapidly. Imaging technology now exists that is capable of detecting tumor response within hours. In parallel with this advance, a new array of more targeted and specific therapies are being developed. This paradigm shift in turn demands a more sophisticated way of quantifying response. There is a...
