digital imaging

Pixel-based picture capture

Digital imaging is the capture, creation, manipulation, and storage of visual information in digital form rather than on film or paper.

The process converts light or other input into numerical data that computers can process, display, and transmit.

Digital imaging encompasses photography, scanning, medical imaging like X-rays and MRIs, and satellite imagery.

The hospital upgraded to digital imaging for faster diagnoses.

The technology has largely replaced analog methods in most fields due to its flexibility and ease of sharing.
