Imaging

CT, MRI, PET and ultrasound in oncology

CT and MRI

CT and MRI provide anatomical information on tumour size, location and extent.

PET

PET techniques can visualise metabolic or receptor activity.

Follow-up

Comparable imaging protocols and clearly defined time points are important for longitudinal assessment.

Limitations
