Original solutions, that have grown out of the groups' expertise and technical know-how, providing innovations that meet equally the Zeitgeist and the needs of our customers and their patients. Better medical imaging solutions for the needs of our customers DearReader,With the multidisciplinary cooperation of radiologists and clinicians playing an increasingly important role in the treatment process, cross-departmental workflow solutions are in high demand. One of the most complex problems in modern diagnostics is the selection of relevant information from the wealth of data and to prepare this information in a meaningful way for all members of the multidisciplinary teams. Be it CT, MRI, PET or ultrasound, each modality can look at the same body from different points of view: function and morphology are visualized in previously unimaginable detail. But what does that mean for the follow-up of systematic and local therapies? For radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists and radiotherapists it is very helpful to monitor tumor development during therapy – not only with regard to size but even more importantly with regard to structural changes. The first systems are being launched that offer rather promising possibilities and integrate internationally accepted quantifiable factors in the therapy evaluation. So far technological limitations seem not to be an issue. We are pleased to be able to present the most recent hardware and software developments in this issue of RadBook.
