What Technologies Contribute to High Resolution in Cancer Imaging?
Several advanced technologies contribute to high resolution in cancer imaging:
High-Resolution MRI: Provides detailed images of soft tissues, useful for brain, breast, and prostate cancers. CT Scans: Offers cross-sectional images of the body, helping in the detection of lung, liver, and bone cancers. PET Scans: Utilized for metabolic and functional imaging, crucial for detecting cancer spread and monitoring treatment response. Ultrasound: Provides real-time imaging, particularly useful for guiding biopsies and evaluating blood flow in tumors. Microscopy Techniques: Confocal and multiphoton microscopy allow for detailed examination of cancer cells at the molecular level.
