TL;DR: This review discusses the contribution of positron emission tomography to the clinical management of CRC and evolving techniques such as dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI), DCE computed tomography (perfusion CT), diffusion-weighted MRI, and blood oxygenation level-dependent MRI that might have a future role will be covered.

TL;DR: BLI is a useful tool for optical diagnosis, and the use of BASIC with adequate training can significantly improve the accuracy, sensitivity and NPV of adenoma diagnosis.
Abstract: BackgroundBlue Light Imaging (BLI) is a new imaging technology that enhances mucosal surface and vessel patterns. A specific BLI classification was recently developed to enable better characterisat...

TL;DR: Ethical considerations, such as large expenditures during the last year of life and some inappropriate uses, presently counterbalance the savings that the use of high technology could otherwise offer.
Abstract: Health care expenditures constitute a large part of the gross domestic product of the industrialized world and are growing at an alarming rate in some countries, particularly in the United States. Although the expenditures of radiology represented only 3.5% of the total health-care bill in the United States in 1990, the high price of certain high-technology instruments, such as magnetic resonance imagers, attracts attention. Yet, high imaging technology properly used reduces the cost of health care as can be seen from many examples. High imaging technology is non-invasive and often replaces procedures that would require hospitalization. Ethical considerations, such as large expenditures during the last year of life and some inappropriate uses, presently counterbalance the savings that the use of high technology could otherwise offer. By controlling its proper uses, high imaging technology can be a very useful tool.
