Abstract

Cancer is one of the world's major healthcare challenges and, as such, an important application of medical image analysis. After a brief introduction to cancer, we summarise some of the major developments in oncological image analysis over the past 20 years, but concentrating those in the authors' laboratories, and then outline opportunities and challenges for the next decade.

Keywords: Angiogenesis; Cancer; Mammography; Molecular imaging; Radiotherapy.
