This Special Emphasis Panel reviews applications dealing with the development and delivery of novel in vivo cancer-specific image acquisition or enhancement technologies and methods for biomedical imaging and image-guided interventions and therapy for cancer.
Specific areas covered by SBIB (13):
- Novel single and multi-modality molecular imaging and spectroscopy systems
- Novel single and multimodality anatomical and functional imaging systems, methods, agents, and related software
- Development and optimization of efficient imaging systems for cancer screening
- Imaging for diagnosis, staging, or monitoring the effects of cancer therapy
- Image-guided biopsy (IGB), Image-guided therapy (IGT), and Image-guided interventional (IGI) procedures
SBIB (13) has the following shared interests outside the SBIB IRG:
- With Radiation Biology and Therapeutics Special Emphasis Panel [ONC (11)]: In general, development and testing of imaging devices and nuclear medicine technologies for cancer diagnosis should be assigned to SBIB (13). Studies of radiotherapy for the treatment of cancer would be assigned to RBT [ONC (11)].
