"Medical imaging is the technique and process of imaging the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention."
This topic focuses on medical imaging techniques used to diagnose and treat diseases. It includes topics such as X-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine imaging.
"Medical imaging seeks to reveal internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease."
"Medical imaging also establishes a database of normal anatomy and physiology to make it possible to identify abnormalities."
"Electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), electrocardiography (ECG), and others."
"These technologies can be considered forms of medical imaging in another discipline of medical instrumentation."
"As of 2010, 5 billion medical imaging studies had been conducted worldwide."
"Radiation exposure from medical imaging in 2006 made up about 50% of total ionizing radiation exposure in the United States."
"Medical imaging equipment is manufactured using technology from the semiconductor industry, including CMOS integrated circuit chips, power semiconductor devices, sensors, and processors."
"As of 2015, annual shipments of medical imaging chips amount to 46 million units."
"In the case of medical ultrasound, the probe consists of ultrasonic pressure waves and echoes that go inside the tissue to show the internal structure."
"The term 'noninvasive' is used to denote a procedure where no instrument is introduced into a patient's body."
"No instrument is introduced into a patient's body, which is the case for most imaging techniques used."

"Medical imaging also establishes a database of normal anatomy and physiology to make it possible to identify abnormalities."
"Although imaging of removed organs and tissues can be performed for medical reasons, such procedures are usually considered part of pathology instead of medical imaging."
"Measurement and recording techniques, such as electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), electrocardiography (ECG), and others."
"In the case of projectional radiography, the tube uses X-ray radiation."
"X-ray radiation is absorbed at different rates by different tissue types such as bone, muscle, and fat."
