discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
Today's technological advancements have allowed people to look inside human body without having to
surgically operate it. This has proved to be ground breaking in terms of human body analysis, disease
analysis, medication and treatment. Medical imaging is the technique and process of creating visual
representations of the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention, as well as visual
representation of the function of some organs or tissues. Medical imaging seeks to reveal internal
structures hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease. Medical imaging also
establishes a database of normal anatomy and physiology to make it possible to identify abnormalities.
Although, imaging of removed organs and tissues can be performed for medical reasons, such
procedures are usually considered part of pathology instead of medical imaging.
Medical imaging can be divided into five segments depending upon modalities namely, X-rays,
Ultrasound, MRI, Computed Tomography and Nuclear Imaging. Amongst all these, X-rays are mostly
commonly used for diagnosis.
