Advanced imaging techniques such as MRI, CT, and PET offer non-invasive methods to visualize tissues in vivo. When combined with histology, these techniques provide a complete picture from macroscopic structures to microscopic details:
MRI and Histology: MRI can identify abnormal tissue regions which can then be biopsied and examined histologically for precise pathological analysis. CT and Histology: CT imaging helps in mapping the exact location of lesions, which can be further analyzed histologically to understand cellular details. PET and Histology: PET scans reveal metabolic activity, and histology can correlate these findings with cellular and subcellular structures.
