Leading medical imaging experts bring fresh perspectives to oncology drug development(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) London (PRWEB UK) 23 February 2014 Imaging allows us to answer questions that we did not know the answer to before. For example, it can help determine the composition of the tumour, clinical evaluation of patients and evaluation of new treatments. Imaging within the arena of personalised healthcare is an area of increasing significance and will revolutionise the field of oncology. Attendees will be given practical tips and guidance on cost-effective imaging management, regulatory insights will be provided and alternatives to costly independent reviews will be discussed. The use of imaging in clinical trials (Phases 2 and 3) will be considered and debated in addition to the use of novel biomarkers. With just 3 weeks to go - the event represents an excellent platform in 2014 for learning about the use of imaging pre-clinically and also in clinical trials, giving delegates access to the latest information and key case studies from across the industry.
