Abstract
Detection, localization, diagnosis, staging, and monitoring treatment responses are the most important aspects and crucial procedures in diagnostic medicine and clinical oncology. Early detection and localization of the diseases and accurate disease staging can improve the survival and change management in patients prior to planned surgery or therapy. Therefore, current medical practice has been directed toward early but efficient localization and staging of diseases, while ensuring that patients would receive the most effective treatment.
