Abstract

Oncologie imaging has undergone revolutionary changes during the 1980s; a number of cross-sectional techniques introduced in the 1970s and some adopted in the 1980s have matured, permitting diagnosis, staging, and follow-up of therapy for cancer. Digital gray scale ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) with contrast media enhancement, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have become indispensable in clinical centers and have made diagnostic radiology one of the mainstays of oncologie medicine. Oncologie imaging also involves interventional radiology, which in the treatment of tumors may involve introduction of catheters into terminal arteries in order to permit tolerance of higher doses of chemotherapeutic agents with infusion pumps. Needle biopsies under imaging localization have practically eliminated exploratory laparotomies in the industrial world.
