Radiology,
Radiography Medical imaging refers to the techniques and processes used to create
images of the human body (or parts thereof) for clinical purposes (
medical procedures seeking to reveal,
diagnose or examine
disease) or medical science (including the study of normal anatomy and function). As a discipline and in its widest sense, it is part of biological imaging and incorporates
radiology (in the wider sense), radiological sciences,
endoscopy, (medical)
thermography, medical photography and
microscopy (e.g. for human pathological investigations). Measurement and recording techniques which are not primarily designed to produce
images, such as
electroencephalography (
EEG) and
magnetoencephalography (
MEG) and others, but which produce data susceptible to be represented as
maps (i.e. containing positional information), can be seen as forms of medical imaging.
