The Problem Cancer detection is currently based on two insufficient imaging techniques: structural and functional. While structural techniques identify anatomic details and provide information on tumor location, size, and spread, based on endogenous contrast, they are ineffective in detecting critical small tumors or metastases.The main functional imaging technique, FDG-PET, is based on increased glucose metabolic activity…
