Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Quantitative Imaging Tools for Lung Cancer Drug Assessment" report to their offering.

This monograph presents chapters written by leading clinical researchers in the field of lung cancer, where high resolution 3-D imaging technology appears to hold the greatest near-term promise, as well as contributions from recognized experts in CAD, medical information technology systems, regulatory procedure, x-ray standards development, and clinical trial design. These authors discuss the current state-of-the-art and provide a road map for directing further research in lung cancer as well as other organ systems.
