Has quantitative multimodal imaging of treatment response arrived?
Although there have been dramatic increases in the range and quality of information available from noninvasive imaging methods, their application in clinical trials has been limited. One promising approach is to apply imaging techniques in preclinical studies designed to mimic a corresponding clinical trial in order to inform that trial.
