Abstract
Medical imaging is now utilized extensively in clinical trials for eligibility, efficacy, and safety evaluations. The uses of imaging span from a qualitative assessment of disease findings to quantitative assessments, each resting on diagnosis of the condition or change in the severity of the condition. This introductory chapter is designed for the novice with a limited or no background in radiological techniques and aims to briefly review the different imaging techniques, technology, terminology, and optimal imaging uses.
