Imaging or radiology tests are used to understand the changes happening to the body. They are used to identify diseases like cancer as well as find out the rate of spread, and ascertain whether the cancer treatment is working. Energy waves or rays are sent through the body and changes in their patterns are recorded to produce an image or picture of the body. Several imaging tests may be done throughout the course of a treatment. This is to track the growth and changes of the cancer. The initial tests are called baseline studies and are compared with later images to observe the results of the treatment. This book outlines the processes and applications of cancer imaging in detail. From theories to research to practical applications, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to this field have been included herein. For all those who are interested in cancer imaging, this book can prove to be an essential guide.
