AB  - Rapid advances in imaging technology have whetted our
collective appetites for practical clinical applications to assist
the physician and patient in therapeutic decisions. Current
limitations of imaging technology are being addressed by
the convergence of technology in materials science, the
computer industry, and biology which have led to
improvements of diagnostic imaging. Refinements in image
acquisition, fusion of images, and outcomes data now
suggest use for image-guided therapy. Novel imaging agents
and technologies appear to provide improved capabilities to
detect malignant lymph nodes. Future applications of optical
coherence tomography, electron paramagnetic resonance
imaging, nanotechnology, and other forms of molecular
imaging promise further refinements to enhance our
diagnostic armamentarium.
