IMAGING

'Imaging' may refer to:
In 'medicine' and 'biology':

★ Medical imaging, creating images of the human body or parts of it, to diagnose or examine disease

★ Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a non-invasive method to render images of living tissues

★ Ultrasound imaging, using very high frequency sound to visualize muscles and internal organs

★ Optical imaging, a technique to allow cognitive neuroscientists to "see" brain activity

★ Molecular imaging, used to study molecular pathways inside organisms

★ Imaging agent, a chemical designed to allow clinicians to determine whether a mass is benign or malignant

★ Fluorescence lifetime imaging, using the decay rate of a fluorescent sample

★ Optoacoustic imaging, using the photothermal effect, for the accuracy of spectroscopy with the depth resolution of ultrasound

★ Gallium imaging, a nuclear medicine method for the detection of infections and cancers

★ Diffuse optical imaging, using near-infrared light to generate images of the body

★ Photoacoustic Imaging, a technique to detect vascular disease and cancer using a near-infrared laser

★ Calcium imaging, determining the calcium status of a tissue using fluorescent light

★ Diffusion-weighted imaging, a type of MRI that uses water diffusion

★ Bioluminescence imaging, a technique for studying laboratory animals using luminescent protein

★ Imaging studies, which includes many medical imaging techniques
In 'physics':

★ Radar imaging, or imaging radar, for obtaining an image of an object, not just its location and speed

★ Phase-contrast imaging, a method of imaging in transmission electron microscopy

★ Hyperspectral imaging, a technique in electron microscopy

★ Fluorescence lifetime imaging, imaging that uses differences in the decay rate of a fluorescent sample

★ Bistatic imaging, using two radar instruments to map a surface

★ Chemical imaging, the simultaneous measurement of spectra and pictures

★ Subwavelength imaging, a technique for visualizing features which are smaller than the wavelength of the photons in use

★ Annular dark-field imaging, a method of mapping samples in a scanning transmission electron microscope

★ Neutral Atom Imaging, a technique used on spacecraft to image magnetospheric and ionospheric plasma

★ Magnetic Particle Imaging a technique that measures the magnetic fields generated by magnetic particles in a tracer

★ Photoelectron Imaging, a novel approach to photoelectron spectroscopy where the photoelectron cloud resulting from interaction of molecules or anions with laser light is projected on a position-sensitive detector, allowing for simulteneous determination of the photoelectron energy spectra and angular distributions
In 'astronomy':

★ Speckle imaging, combining a number of very short exposure images

★ Lucky imaging, a specialized form of speckle imaging with carefully selected images
In 'geology':

★ Electrical resistivity imaging, a geophysical method of subsurface investigation
In 'computing' and 'business':

★ Digital imaging, creating digital images, generally by scanning, or through digital photography

★ Dynamic imaging, an amalgamation of digital imaging and workflow automation

★ Document imaging, replicating documents commonly used in business

★ Imaging for Windows, a software product for scanning paper documents

★ Media Imaging, creating an exact duplicate of an original media source (often for electronic forensic purposes)
In 'music':

★ Stereo imaging, an aspect of sound recording and reproduction concerning spatial locations of the performers
'Other':

★ Imaging science, which includes many fields of science

★ Personal imaging, realtime sharing of personal experience through images

★ Integral imaging, a method for viewing stereo (3D) images without special glasses
