Science advances both by conceptual leaps and by improved observational and
analytic tools. Mechanism and function in biological systems can best be
understood in the context of the complex microenvironments in which they occur,
and for this purpose morphologic analysis can be critical. Technological advances
in cell and tissue imaging are currently finding application in a wide variety of
basic, translational, and clinical biomedical studies. "Biophotonics in
Pathology" was designed as a multi-authored work to describe the various kinds of
imaging strategies that have been developed as computational power keeps
increasing. Some of these overlap with radiologic techniques and others do not.
The field is continuously evolving, and in this commentary I will touch on
additional techniques for morphology-based interrogation of cells and tissues
that have recently been described. However, it is important to note that though
we are expanding our armamentarium as pathologists, our radiological colleagues
have been doing this for many years. Clearly, they have embraced new imaging
techniques to a greater extent than have pathologists. This commentary discusses
some of the factors responsible for this, and suggests that pathology and
radiology are converging towards a more holistic approach to diagnostic imaging.
