A Survey on Medical Imaging Techniques and Applications

Abstract

Medical imaging is a technique that is utilized for medical purposes, to visualize the internal organs covered by the skin and bones, in order to diagnose and cure disorders. It is a branch of biological imaging that includes radiology, which employs imaging technologies such as X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, PET scans, ultrasound, and many others. It also creates a database of normal physiology and anatomy to aid in the identification of anomalies. This research study examines several medical imaging technologies and their applications. A discussion about the evolution and potential advancements of medical imaging has also been presented.
