Medical sciences, in particular, radiology, have experienced an explosion of new technologies for imaging the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI. and PET scanning are examples of techniques that can provide practically real time three-dimensional images. But the explosion of data has created important questions of how best to design studies and to analyze their information.

Methods for constructing and enhancing images, for identifying and classifying particular anatomical features such as lesions and tumors and for mapping the functional response to a stimulus require further development. Interactions among radiologists, biomedical engineers and statisticians will advance the emerging field.
