  Imaging - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Imaging is the action or process of producing images, animations, 3D computer graphics or any other spatial representation of a physical object.
In photography, digital imaging is the creation of digital images, typically by image scanning or digital photography, and the processing, compression, storage, printing, and display of such images.
In medicine, medical imaging is the use of radiographs, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound and other techniques by which physicians evaluate an area of the subject's body that is not normally visible.

 Medical imaging - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Medical imaging is the process by which physicians evaluate an area of the subject's body that is not normally visible.
Medical imaging may be "clinical", seeking to diagnose and examine disease in specific human patients (see pathology).
Brain imaging has also been used in experimental circumstances to allow people (especially disabled persons) to control outside devices, acting as a direct mind-computer interface.

 Confocal Imaging
n a confocal imaging system a single point of excitation light (or sometimes a group of points or a slit) is scanned across the specimen (see animation 1).
The point is a diffraction limited spot on the specimen and is produced either by imaging an illuminated aperture situated in a conjugate focal plane to the specimen or, more usually, by focusing a parallel laser beam.
Confocal imaging can offer another advantage in favorable situations (small pinhole size, bright specimen): the resolution that is obtained can be better by a factor of up to 1.4 than the resolution obtained with the microscope operated conventionally.

Mice can be imaged with the same radioactive tracers, ultrasound, MRI, X-rays or CT used in the clinic, but adapted for the smaller animals.

 Neuroguide.com - Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is used to visualize brain function, by visualizing changes in chemical composition of brain areas or changes in the flow of fluids that occur over timespans of seconds to minutes.
The component of the imaging system which allows the spatial localization of the protons is a set of magnetic field gradients, set up by magnetic coils which are turned on and off at appropriate times (Horowitz, 1995).
Finally, in spin-echo imaging, there is the problem that the inhomogeneity of the main magnetic field induces variations in the rate of precession of nuclei.

 Imaging glossary
Imaging is a means of making and displaying spatially coherent measurements and is therefore a key resource for studying the development, growth and therapeutic response of neoplasms.
Imaging sciences are at a stage at which in vivo imaging can occur at near micron resolutions with image specificity at the physiological, cellular and molecular level.
Developing novel molecular imaging technologies and improving the existing ones by designing better probes and increasing the specificity and bioavailability is key for the early detection of diseases on a molecular basis and the development of targeted therapeutics.

 Olympus Microscopy Resource Center: Digital Imaging in Optical Microscopy
When compared to the traditional mechanism of image capture, photomicrography on film, digital imaging and post-acquisition processing enables a reversible, essentially noise-free modification of the image as an ordered matrix of integers rather than a series of analog variations in color and intensity.
Electronic Imaging Detectors - The range of light detection methods and the wide variety of imaging devices currently available to the microscopist make the selection process difficult and often confusing.
Fundamentals of Video Imaging - Optical images produced in the microscope can be captured using either traditional film techniques, digitally with electronic detectors such as a charge-coupled device (CCD), or with a tube-type video camera.
