Unfortunately, however, there are no or only a few associated early symptoms of some cancer types. Pancreatic and ovarian cancers and lymphoma are examples of malignancies difficult to diagnose at an early stage. It cannot be overemphasized that careful training and thoughtful use of imaging technology undeniably enhance patient care. This technology enhances physical examination, can image the disease process, and bring to light Preface new issues in patient management with greater clarity than patient history and conventional examination alone.

Drug discovery and development are accelerating owing to rapid synthesis of potential drugs and development of high-throughput in vitro tests. In fact, imaging is beginning to be used in all phases of drug discovery and development. A detailed discussion of such developments is presented by Janet C. Miller and colleagues in Volume 1, and by Mihailo Lalich and colleagues in this volume. Predictive factors allowing an estimation of tumor prognosis and prediction of the response to specific drugs prior to the onset of treatment as well as post-treatment assessment are increasingly gaining importance in modern therapy designs in oncology, and imaging is playing a key role in achieving these goals.

Multimodality image-guided diagnosis and therapy means acquisition and interpretation of multiple imaging modalities in order to attempt medical intervention. One of the hybrid modalities is PET/CT, which is considered to be a road map for imaging studies in oncology, with CT adding anatomical details to functional details provided by PET. This single schedule examination provides many clinical and workflow benefits. This combination makes CT almost a standard part of a PET purchase. Some of the combined imaging approaches that facilitate accurate spatial and temporal registration of information are discussed in this series.
