007451. Medical imaging is the technique and process of imaging the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention, as well as visual representation of the function of some organs or tissues ( physiology ). Medical imaging seeks to reveal internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease.
003335. Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes inside the body. MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and radio waves to generate images of the organs in the body. MRI does not involve X-rays or the use of ...

Transdermal optical imaging, also known as transdermal optical imagery [1] or TOI, is a method of detecting blood flow of the face by measuring hemoglobin concentration using a digital video camera. [2] Because of the translucent property of skin, light can travel beneath the skin and re-emit. [3] The re-emitted light from underneath the skin ...
ICD-10-PCS. C22G. MeSH. D055414. OPS-301 code. 3-704, 3-721. eMedicine. 2114292. Myocardial perfusion imaging or scanning (also referred to as MPI or MPS) is a nuclear medicine procedure that illustrates the function of the heart muscle ( myocardium ).
Scintigraphy (from Latin scintilla, "spark"), also known as a gamma scan, is a diagnostic test in nuclear medicine, where radioisotopes attached to drugs that travel to a specific organ or tissue (radiopharmaceuticals) are taken internally and the emitted gamma radiation is captured by gamma cameras, which are external detectors that form two-dimensional images [1] in a process similar to the ...
