Fundamentals and Applications

Imaging sciences applied to medicine could be regarded as starting when the first histologic section was viewed or when Roentgen accidently took a picture of his hand by interfering with photons hitting a photographic plate. In the 1990s applications of PCR in gene mapping along with novel methods and automated systems for protein expression helped define the molecular basis of several pathologies and has led to many new ideas on how to track, treat, and follow disease.
