ABSTRACT

Currently on the market are different types of diagnostic imaging techniques that are widely used such as basic ultrasound (US), echocardiography, Doppler, angiography, multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (Dynamic MRI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (Perfusion MRI), scintigraphy, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET). Although these techniques provide excellent anatomical and morphological characterization of the disease, they are obtained in advanced stages, presenting a poor therapeutic response and poor prognosis.
