Abstract

In an investigation by the Swedish Cancer Society, the present status, critical issues and future aspects and potentials were described by an expert group for each of nine major areas of radiation therapy research. This report deals with medical imaging for improved medical diagnosis including tumour detection, staging and characterization, treatment planning, guiding and verification, evaluation of response and treatment follow-up.
