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 non-ionizing laser pulses
 * 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
 * Magnetotellurics, ibid.

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
 * creating a file which contains the exact content of a storage medium, see disk image

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
 * Remote sensing, imaging the Earth or a planet from space or aircraft
