  • Current imaging offers high-quality images with low biologic risk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the impact of advanced imaging modalities on neoplasm delineation and staging.
  • To discuss the limitations and future directions of medical imaging in oncology.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established and emerging imaging technologies.
  • Analysis of image quality, speed, risk, and diagnostic capabilities.

Main Results:

  • Imaging modalities enhance the ability to delineate and stage neoplasms.
  • High-quality imaging is achievable with minimal biologic risk and reasonable time.
