Background and Identification
Medical imaging is the process of creating visual representations of the internal structures of the body beneath the skin and bones. These images can then be used for clinical analysis, diagnosis and discovery of abnormalities, and to create plans for medical intervention. Medical imaging uses a variety of technologies based on the area of analysis, including but not limited to “X-ray radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, endoscopy, elastography, tactile imaging, thermography, medical photography, and nuclear medicine functional imaging techniques as positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).” (Wikipedia)
