Diagnostic imaging
Active
Description
Medical imaging is the process by which physicians evaluate an area of the subject's body that is not externally visible (this may be termed clinical imaging), and could therefore involve any medical discipline, and scientists researching into new methods of creating these images. The thrust of this article is directed to medical imaging in the radiology department of a modern hospital. The medical specialist directing medical imaging is a radiologist, and the medical aspects are known as radiology. The technical aspects of medical imaging are known as radiography and are carried out by the radiographer or radiologic technologist. Medical imaging may be clinically motivated, seeking to diagnose and examine disease in specific human patients (see pathology). Alternatively, clinical imaging or biological imaging may be used by researchers in order to understand processes in living organisms.
