Excerpt

The 20th century diagnostic imaging scenario almost for the whole of its existence was divided into two well-separated universes: (1) the morphostructural, in which information on anatomy and structures are acquired, with pathology as the gold standard, and (2) the functional, in which normal and altered functions are analysed, with pathophysiology as the reference. …
