Imaging, in the biomedical sense, comprises the techniques used to produce visual representations of the interior of the body for diagnosis, characterization of disease, and guidance of treatment. It spans modalities based on different physical principles, including X-ray and computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, optical methods, and nuclear and molecular imaging, each offering distinct contrast, resolution, and functional information. Research in this area examines both established and emerging modalities and their clinical applications: cone-beam computed tomography and orthopantomography in dental and sinus assessment, magnetic resonance and diffusion-weighted imaging in neurological and otologic conditions, optical coherence tomography for early detection of disease, and diffuse optical imaging as a functional technique. Molecular and metabolic imaging features prominently, including the development of labeled agents for tuberculosis imaging and spectroscopic approaches to cancer diagnosis, alongside the combined use of ultrasonography and computed tomography and the imaging evaluation of bone allograft viability. Functional studies, such as imaging of the visual cortex and cardiac mechanics, illustrate the use of imaging to probe physiology as well as structure. Across these strands, scholarship on imaging seeks to improve the detection, characterization, and monitoring of disease, to develop safer and more informative techniques, and to extend imaging from anatomy toward function and molecular processes.
