Medical imaging is the process of creating visual representations of the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention. Medical imaging is performed to reveal internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, to examine and diagnose the medical condition. It plays a vital role, not only in the diagnosis but also in the treatment process, since it is taken into consideration during the follow-up of various diseases. Various methods for medical imaging include X-rays, ultrasonography (ultrasound imaging), CT, and MRI. For the diagnosis and treatment of various disease, these methods are used individually or in combination for a better understanding of the medical condition.
