3-D Imaging Technology Appears to Hold the Greatest near-Term Promise for Imaging Tools in Cancer Research and Prevention.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c89966) has announced the addition of "Imaging Tools in Cancer Research and Prevention" to their offering.

Presents chapters written by leading clinical researchers in the field of lung cancer lung cancer, cancer that originates in the tissues of the lungs. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States in both men and women. Like other cancers, lung cancer occurs after repeated insults to the genetic material of the cell. , where high resolution 3-D imaging technology appears to hold the greatest near-term promise, as well as contributions from recognized experts in CAD, medical information technology systems, 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 as well as other organ systems.
