Abstract

Conventional (anatomical, structural) imaging is insensitive to the presence of cancer, often failing to yield the very information needed for accurate diagnosis and staging, for proper treatment selection and monitoring or for effective follow-up after treatment. This, fortunately, is changing. Newer techniques, already in clinical testing, are rapidly pushing clinical imaging in the same direction as the rest of medicine: away from simple detection of the gross structural end-effects of disease, and toward a patient-specific approach based on physiologic, histologic, antigenic, molecular, and (ultimately) genetic markers of disease. By 2010, unimodal, nonspecific, and insensitive radiological images may look as primitive to us as the first Roentgen radiographs. In some cases, these new scans will be so seamlessly integrated into therapeutic treatment that they may not even be thought of as imaging per se. This chapter looks forward to see how imaging for oncology may look in the coming decade, focusing upon near-term trends and techniques by selecting those already demonstrated in vivo in at least animals or which are now under human study, and thus which have moved far enough that they have already begun to impact patient care, or are likely to begin do so in the near future.

  108. Other atomic species can be used to produce a signal, notably Cl-Chlorine. However, the majority of machines deployed are configured for proton (1H) spectra, and the detection of other substances using proton spectroscopy often entails nothing more than software changes. Thus, most of the improvements now heading toward clinical use tend to be based on hydrogen. There is a large body of literature on cellular energetics using phosphorus resonance, with a suggestion of clinical utility from the analysis of high energy stores such as phosphocreatine, ATP, ADP, AMP, adenosine, and the like

  168. Light propagates through tissue much as a gas diffuses through air, in a random, scattered walk called photon diffusion. At wavelengths near the blue, the absorbance of tissue is high, such that photons travel a few hundred microns or less before being absorbed; in contrast in the red and infrared wavelengths, photons scatter but travel millimeters to centimeters before absorption, and this scattering dominates the transport of photons across tissue. Scattering of light redirects photons based upon local changes in index-of-refraction. These refraction changes come from objects with structures on the size order of the wavelength of light (typically nucleus and cell membranes, and to a lesser extent mitochondria). The physics of the imaging has been well studied, is complex, and continues to evolve, in part because unlike in the transport of high-energy photons from PETor X-ray, a linear photon path often cannot be assumed.
