Medical imaging is a process of imaging the internal view of the human body for medical intervention and clinical analysis. It depicts the internal structure of the body, which is covered by the skin. It helps in the identification of abnormalities for appropriate diagnosis and treatment of a disease. Medical imaging includes technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging, radiology, ultrasound, radiography, medical photography, elastography, thermography, computed tomography and mammography. Imaging diagnostics are used for detecting cancer and its management in all the phases. Medical imaging is a significant part of clinical protocols related with cancer and it helps in furnishing functional, structural, metabolic, and morphological information. In combination with other diagnostic tools like in vitro fluids and tissue analysis, medical imaging helps in undertaking clinical decisions. Cancer can be detected in the early stages through imaging based on screening, which has substantially decreased the mortality in certain cancers. This book unravels the recent studies on diagnostic imaging and its applications in cancer. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by it.

Imaging is used to view inside the body for medical analysis and clinical intervention. A variety of biomedical imaging techniques are utilized for managing all stages of cancer. Imaging plays an important role in cancer clinical protocols by providing metabolic, morphological, functional and structural information. In combination with other diagnostic tools, such as in vitro fluids and tissue analysis, it contributes in clinical decision‐making. Hybrid imaging techniques are capable of supplying complementary information for enhanced planning of therapy and staging. Targeted minimally invasive and image guided therapy can decrease collateral impacts and improve outcome. Cancer imaging has several benefits, such as minimal or no invasiveness, real time monitoring, and accessibility without tissue destruction and may help in functioning over a variety of size and time scales involved in pathological and biological processes. This book contains some path-breaking studies in clinical cancer imaging. It is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements. This book will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.
