Chapter 7 – Image Processing and Integration in Oncologic Imaging

IMAGING HIGHLIGHTS □ Image registration and ability to achieve three-dimensional (3-D) display of 1-mm computed tomographic (CT) slices with spiral CTs and 3-D displays with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allow accurate volumetrics of tumors and normal tissues/organ viewing relationships.
