“…Imaging is non-invasive and can therefore be repeated at different stages during the evolution of the disease or treatment. Being closely Page 4 of 25 related to the tumor phenotype, imaging assessments of tumor heterogeneity can provide information that is complementary to gene-based assays [12].…”
