- Biological imaging
Biological imaging may refer to any
imaging technique used inbiology .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
*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
*Optical imaging , a technique to allow cognitive neuroscientists to "see" brain activity
*Optoacoustic imaging , using the photothermal effect, for the accuracy of spectroscopy with the depth resolution of ultrasound
* Photoacoustic Imaging, a technique to detect vascular disease and cancer using non-ionizing laser pulses
*Ultrasound imaging , using very high frequency sound to visualize muscles and internal organs
