Radiography uses electromagnetic radiation to view the interior parts of the human body. An X-ray generator produces a heterogenous beam projected towards the object and are captured by a detector behind the object that provides a superimposed 2D images of the internal structures of body. Radiography applications include industrial radiography and medical radiography. Medical radiography means the object that is being examined is living. The rest other radiography is regarded as industrial computed tomography or industrial radiographic work. There are over 10,000 hospitals worldwide that uses radioisotopes in medicine.

Cancer which is the abnormal growth of cells has the potential to spread to other parts of the body. The researchers are developing new therapies and with the help of imaging technologies, it is developing a way to restrict the growth of cells. Medical imaging aims in the management of patients with cancer. 

The term molecular imaging is originated from the field of radiopharmacology to understand the molecular pathways inside organisms in a noninvasive manner. It helps in the visualisation of the cellular function and follow up the molecular process in living organisms. This technique enables the diagnosis of diseases such as neurological, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. This technique uses biomarkers to help image particular targets or pathways.

Ophthalmic imaging is a highly specialized form of medical imaging dedicated to the study and treatment of disorders of the eye. It covers a wide range of scope of photographic services that incorporates many aspects of commercial and medical photography. But it is through the use of highly specialized equipment used to document parts of the eye like the cornea, iris, and retina, that ophthalmic photography takes on it's true identity.

The retina is the "film" of the eye. Images passing through the clear structures of the cornea and lens are focused there to give us our view of the world. Special instruments called fundus cameras, when used by skilled photographers, can document the condition of this miraculous anatomical structure.

Ophthalmic imaging has played an important role in the documentation and diagnosis of various ophthalmic diseases. Ocular photography is used to record medical conditions, track disease progression and create illustrations for publication and education. The primary role of ophthalmic imaging however, goes well beyond documentation in its ability to aid in the diagnosis of a broad range of eye conditions

Conventional gastrointestinal complexity studies are thought to be old-fashioned by numerous as more up to date imaging modalities give more points of interest on gastrointestinal morphology and accomplish more prominent affectability and specificity. Imaging modalities not withstanding customary upper GI arrangement incorporate endoscopy examinations, CT and MRI enteroclysis and in addition virtual colonoscopy ponders which have been all the more as of late added to the symptomatic instrument set. The distinctive sorts of imaging modalities be that as it may, propel modalities have not supplanted rather supplement regular reviews.

Cardiac imaging techniques include coronary catheterization, echocardiogram, Intravascular ultrasound, Cardiac PET scan, Cardiac CT scan and Cardiac MRI.

A physician may recommend cardiac imaging to support a diagnosis of a heart condition.

Medical specialty professional organizations discourage the use of routine cardiac imaging during pre-operative assessment for patients about to undergo low or mid-risk non-cardiac surgery because the procedure carries risks and is unlikely to result in the change of a patient's management. Stress cardiac imaging is discouraged in the evaluation of patients without cardiac symptoms or in routine follow-ups

Digital imaging in dentistry has come to describe several technologies. This article will focus on digital images captured by digital cameras and their use in patient consultations.

Although digital photography is no longer new, the power of high-quality photography is still “king” of dental technologies with regard to patient communication. The opportunity to communicate directly and visually with our patients empowers the Big 3 in dentistry:

1. Diagnosis (disease, trauma, or esthetic dilemma)

2. Treatment planning (multidisciplinary or sequence)

3. The treatment preview (accurate cosmetic imaging of the proposed result)

Cosmetic or esthetic dentistry has become mainstream in general dentistry, with patient demand increasing yearly. If the goal of cosmetic dentistry is completely visual, then our consultation should also be completely visual. I call this visual experience the Digital Patient Consultation (DPC).

The Discipline of Clinical Dental Research has experiencing changes in extension, strategies, instrumentation and innovation which is driven by expanded familiarity with quality medicinal services in creating nations and progressed biotechnological accessibility in created world. It incorporates increment use of PC innovation in analytic science, atomic techniques, and clinical estimations, which thusly will influence clinical basic leadership with expanded exactness.

The adjustments in example of oral malady have additionally expanded the extent of clinical research with move in center of research to investigate obscure etiological element and etiopathogenesis. Subsequently the general pattern is towards the expanded request of prepared and experienced clinical agent in dentistry.

An expansion in subsidizing for clinical research is definitely on the grounds that examination financing if utilized as a part of fitting bearing will decrease huge social insurance cost for the administration and enhanced personal satisfaction for the patient. Additionally there is extent of enhancing general wellbeing of patients as well, if extension is done on oral wellbeing research. 

Pediatric Radiology advises its perusers of new discoveries and advance in every aspect of pediatric imaging and in related fields. This is accomplished by a mix of unique papers, and audits depicting the current situation with learning in a specific subject. Substance incorporate advances in innovation, strategy, mechanical assembly and assistant gear are introduced, and alterations of standard systems.

Neuroradiology is a subspecialty of radiology focusing on the diagnosis and characterization of abnormalities of the central and peripheral nervous system, spine, and head and neck using neuroimaging techniques. Primary imaging modalities include computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Plain radiography is utilized on a limited basis and ultrasound is used in limited circumstances, in particular in the pediatric population. Angiography is traditionally used for diagnosis of vascular abnormalities or diagnosis and characterization of masses or other lesions but is being replaced in many instances by CT or MRI angiography and imaging.

Clinical Research on brain diseases, as on any disease affecting humans, often proceeds from taking promising results produced in studying an animal model of a disease and applying these results to the first studies in human patients who have that disease. These first studies in patients usually determine whether the animal model has accurately portrayed what is actually occurring in the human disease, and whether the intervention (such as a drug, a device, or a surgical technique) works safely in patients. This first research in humans also tries to determine whether these interventions, which appeared to work in the animal model of the disease, also show promise in treating patients who have the disease.
