Novel genetic assessments for cancer patients: where does medical imaging stand in the future of personalised medicine?

J Med Radiat Sci. 2024 Mar;71(1):7-9. doi: 10.1002/jmrs.762. Epub 2024 Feb 15.

Abstract

As our understanding of genetics in cancer care improves, the role of personalised medicine for patients continues to grow. With the increasing emergence of novel technologies for patient assessment, such as the evaluation of circulating tumour DNA, we must reflect on the potentially changing role that medical imaging will play in the future of optimal patient care.
