“…Consequently, not only is the spatial resolution of this camera quantitatively better than that of conventional scintillation cameras, but the qualitative difference permits implementation of algorithms that recover less of spatial resolution at depth without an attendant loss of signal-to-noise. [21,22] With this algorithm we have demonstrated spatial resolution of 2-3mm at 10 cm depth. [21,23] Figs.…”

Advances in technology make it possible to extend the range of physical and chemical tissue parameters used for formation of images. This in turn adds to the capabilities to diagnose disease and assess its extent. Quantitative improvements in instrumentation augment the fidelity with which the imaging is performed, and at a certain point provide a quantum jump in diagnostic capability. We discuss recent technological advances in digital radiography, NMR and nuclear medicine imaging that demonstrate these effects.
