There are several reasons for inaccurate imaging in cancer:
1. Technological Limitations: The resolution and sensitivity of imaging technologies like CT scans, MRI, and PET scans may not always be sufficient to detect small or early-stage tumors. 2. Human Error: Radiologists interpreting the images might miss subtle signs of cancer or misinterpret normal anatomical variations as pathological. 3. Patient Factors: Factors such as patient movement, body composition, and the presence of other medical conditions can affect image quality and accuracy. 4. Technical Issues: Problems with the imaging equipment or improper techniques during image acquisition can lead to poor-quality images.
