Medical Imaging in Clinical Trials - Grand Format

Medical Imaging in Clinical Trials is a key text in understanding the methodology and the metrics that are required in the field of medical imaging. As the pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device industries continue to identify ways to improve and speed up product development, medical imaging is playing an increasingly significant role. Medical Imaging in Clinical Trials aims to educate and provide a hands-on text for those involved in clinical trials and either new to medical imaging or requiring to understand the key differences between clinical trial and "routine" clinical imaging.
It is aimed at professionals involved in clinical trials at the clinical research site, pharmaceutical and medical device industries, and regulators. This book addresses the ethics and radiation dosages of the different modalities, the end points commonly used for the different trial phases, the acquisition and analysis techniques, as well as the logistics management of medical imaging and the role of the central imaging lab or imaging core lab (ICL) which is now the standard requirement for clinical trials.
Details of the major therapeutic areas are looked at, where medical imaging plays a primary or secondary efficacy or safety end point.
