Medical imaging is essential to screening, early diagnosis, and monitoring responses to cancer treatments and, when used with other diagnostics, provides guidance for clinicians in choosing the most effective patient management plan that maximizes survivorship and quality of life. At a gathering of agency officials, patient advocacy organizations, industry/professional stakeholder groups, and clinical/basic science academicians, recommendations were made on why and how one should build a "cancer knowledge network" that includes imaging. Steps to accelerate the translation and clinical adoption of cancer discoveries to meet the goals of the Cancer Moonshot include harnessing computational power and architectures, developing data sharing policies, and standardizing medical imaging and diagnostics. .
医学影像学对于癌症的筛查、早期诊断和治疗效果监测至关重要，并且在与其他诊断方法结合使用时，可为临床医生提供指导，帮助他们选择最有效的患者管理方案，从而最大限度地提高生存率和生活质量。在一个由机构官员、患者权益组织、行业/专业利益相关者团体以及临床/基础科学学者组成的会议上，就为什么以及如何构建一个包含影像学的“癌症知识网络”提出了建议。为了实现“癌症登月计划”的目标，加快癌症研究成果的转化和临床应用，包括利用计算能力和架构、制定数据共享政策以及标准化医学影像和诊断等步骤都被提上了日程。
