| Abstract | Lung cancer continues to be the number one cause of cancer-related deaths in the USA. Early identification of the disease, availability of more effective drugs, and improved delivery of such drugs specifically to cancer cells are needed to decrease lung cancer-associated morbidity and mortality. The concept of image-guided drug delivery (IGDD), which envisions the utilization of imaging techniques for quantitative assessments of tumor-targeted drug delivery and therapeutic response, has the potential to make a significant impact in lung cancer. While the anatomic and physiological features of the lung pose distinct problems for imaging drug delivery, several new techniques are emerging that have the potential to overcome these problems. X-ray is a routinely used technique for diagnosing lung cancer; however, positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are complementary approaches. PET- and MRI-based techniques (such as functional MRI) offer the possibility of imaging the delivery of specific molecules to cancer tissues in the lung. This paper reviews fundamentals of imaging with an emphasis on MRI and to some extent PET, since it will be argued that these techniques are the most promising for development in IGDD for lung cancer. Finally, key literature contributions will be highlighted, which exemplify the current successes in this area. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
