Imaging tools in cancer research and prevention

Cancer Research and Prevention Monograph presents chapters written by leadingclinical researchers in the field of lung cancer, where high resolution 3-D imaging technology appears to hold the greatest near-term promise. This book has contributions from recognized experts in CAD, medical information technologysystems, regulatory procedure, x-ray standards development, and clinical trial design. These expert contributors discuss the current state of the art and provide a road map for directing further research in lung cancer and other diseases. INDICE: Preface (Thomas M. Baer and James L.
