imaging
Creating visual representations
Imaging is the process of creating visual representations, especially of internal structures or invisible phenomena.
Medical imaging produces pictures of organs and tissues: The doctor ordered imaging to check for fractures.
The term covers various technologies—X-rays, MRIs, ultrasounds, CT scans.
Beyond medicine, imaging applies to satellite photography, thermal detection, and digital capture generally.
