AB  - The  need  to  detect  and  characterize  cancer  in  an  individual  has  resulted  in  a  dramatic  increase  in  the  use  of  imaging.  Clinical  imaging  is  a  routine  part  of  diagnosis,  staging,  guiding  localized  therapy,  and  assessing  response  to  treatment.  Cancers  occur  anatomically  among  surrounding  normal  tissues,  including  critical  structures,  such  as  major  organs,  vessels,  and  nerves,  and  delineation  of  the  extent  of  malignant  and  nonmalignant  tissues  is  essential  for  planning  surgery  and  radiation  therapy.  Cancers  also  have  morphologic,  physiologic,  and  biochemical  heterogeneity  (see  Chap.  13),  which  is  important  in  understanding  their  biology  and  potential  response  to  treatment.  The  ability  to  explore  and  define  this  heterogeneity  with  modern  imaging  methods,  as  well  as  serum  and  tissue-derived  metrics,  will  enable  more  precise  cancer  treatments.
