Medical Imaging: An Overview Abhisek Pradhan* Department of Microbiology, Utkal University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India

EDITORIAL infers cause (the qualities of living tissue) (the observed signal).

The technique and process of imaging the interior of a body for The probe in is made up of ultrasonic pressure clinical examination and medical intervention, as well as visual waves and echoes that go into the tissue and reveal the internal representation of the function of particular organs or tissues, is structure. The probe in projectional uses X-ray referred to as (physiology). Medical imaging aims radiation, which is absorbed at varying rates by various tissue types to expose hidden interior structures underneath the skin and such as , muscle, and fat. In the clinical setting, "invisible light" , as well as diagnose and cure disease. Medical imaging also medical imaging is commonly referred to as "" or "clinical creates a database of normal anatomy and physiology, allowing imaging," and a radiologist is the medical professional in charge of abnormalities to be detected. Although medical imaging of excised analyzing (and occasionally acquiring) the images. Medical imaging organs and tissues is possible, such operations are normally classified using "visible light" refers to digital video or still images that can be as pathology rather than medical imaging. It includes radiology, viewed without the use of special equipment. which uses imaging technologies such as X-ray radiography, Visible light imaging is used in dermatology and wound treatment, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, endoscopy, , for example. The technological aspects of medical imaging, tactile imaging, , medical photography, and nuclear particularly the acquisition of medical pictures, are referred medicine functional imaging techniques such as emission to as diagnostic radiography. Although radiologists perform and single- emission computed tomography in some radiological procedures, the or radiologic its broadest sense. technologist is usually in charge of obtaining diagnostic-quality Other methods that yield data susceptible to depiction as a medical pictures. Medical imaging, as a subject of study, is classified parameter graph vs. image include electroencephalography (EEG), as a sub-discipline of biomedical engineering, medical physics, magnetoencephalography (MEG), electrocardiography (ECG), or medicine, depending on the context: Instrumentation, image and others that are not primarily meant to produce images. acquisition (e.g., radiography), modelling, and quantification time or maps containing information about measurement sites research and development are typically the domains of biomedical These technologies can be classified as kinds of medical imaging engineering, medical physics, and computer science. Radiology in another discipline in a limited comparison. Medical imaging and the medical sub-discipline related to the medical condition or is commonly thought to refer to a collection of noninvasive field of medical science under inquiry (neuroscience, cardiology, procedures for creating images of the body's internal structures. psychiatry, psychology, etc.) frequently conduct research into the Medical imaging can be thought of as the solution of mathematical application and interpretation of medical imaging. Many of the inverse problems in this limited sense. This suggests that effect medical imaging techniques have scientific and industrial uses as well.
