Report of fifteen years contributions to radiological sciences: Future directions and prospects

At the close of the 20th century, fundamental discoveries changed broadly the worlds of physics, biology and medicine. The rapid advancements achieved during recent years, mainly due to revolutionary methodological improvements, have led to an unparalleled explosion of information; often appear to overshadow the earlier works. However as more basic discoveries are made these separate scientific eras merged to contribute to the conquest of disease, especially cancer. The exponential growth of data has been so impressive that the conceptual evaluation of the material has seemed almost an insignificant part of the scientific process. All these achievements have allowed researchers to ask new questions or to rephrase old ones. The result is a virtual avalanche of new formed knowledge.
