Biological imaging
Biological imaging may refer to any imaging technique used in biology. Typical examples include: Bioluminescence imaging, a technique for studying laboratory animals using luminescent protein Calcium imaging, determining the calcium status of a tissue using fluorescent light Diffuse optical imaging, using near-infrared light to generate images of the body Diffusion-weighted imaging, a type of MRI that uses water diffusion Fluorescence lifetime imaging, using the decay rate of a fluorescent sample Gallium imaging, a nuclear medicine method for the detection of infections and cancers Imaging agent, a chemical designed to allow clinicians to determine whether a mass is benign or malignant Imaging studies, which includes many medical imaging techniques Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a non-invasive method to render images of living tissues Magneto-acousto-electrical tomography (MAET), is an imaging modality to image the electrical conductivity of biological tissues Medical imaging, creating images of the human body or parts of it, to diagnose or examine disease Microscopy, creating images of objects or features too small to be detectable by the naked human eye Molecular imaging, used to study molecular pathways inside organisms Non-contact thermography, is the field of thermography that derives diagnostic indications from infrared images of the human body.
