imaging systems
Picture-capturing equipment array
Imaging systems are technologies that capture, process, and display visual representations of objects or phenomena.
The term spans medical equipment like MRI and CT scanners, satellite reconnaissance, microscopy, and digital cameras.
In technical contexts, an imaging system includes everything from the sensor to the display: The hospital upgraded its imaging systems last year.
The plural form typically refers to equipment rather than abstract capability.
