oncologic imaging

Oncologic imaging refers to medical scans used to detect, diagnose, and monitor cancer. Techniques like X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and PET scans create detailed pictures of the body’s internal structures, helping doctors identify tumors, determine their size and location, and assess how they respond to treatment. These images are crucial for planning surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy, and for tracking disease progression. Advanced imaging provides vital information to guide personalized treatment, improve outcomes, and detect cancer early when it’s most treatable.
