Novel Imaging Technology for Biomedical and Clinical Application

The application of new image technology (NIT) in biomedical and clinical fields is developing at a top speed with the emergence of newly invented technics such as multiparametric, multimodal or molecule imaging. However, due to the fast-paced nature of this development, many theories and technologies have not been thoroughly summarized and reviewed. This lack of comprehensive reviews has hindered our ability to fully comprehend the utility and effectiveness of NIT in clinical settings. Furthermore, the rapid development has sometimes outpaced our ability to provide ideal applications. This review focuses on the comparison of eight types of novel and conventional imaging techniques, which aims to inform readers about the history and characteristic of new medical imaging, providing details such as the clinical functional data. This review first briefly introduces a large number of novel techniques which have been developed to help bridge the gap in medical imaging. Secondly, by systematically overviewings the development of novel imaging technologies, readers could understand the basic changing trends in clinical vision field. Lastly, this search provides strong evidence to instruct future development.
