ABSTRACT
In the recent decades, substantial progress has been made in medical diagnostic technologies that target functional and anatomic changes related to cancer. Techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy, X-ray computed tomography, and ultrasound (US) made it possible to ‘‘see through the human body.’’ At the same time, there is clearly a need for the development of clinical techniques that would combine better sensitivity and specificity to cancer with cost-effectiveness and simplicity of operation.
