What is Biomedical Imaging?

From CRC BID’s perspective, biomedical imaging includes:

·	imaging of anatomical structure by transmission methods using probes such as x-rays, as exemplified in radiography and computed tomography (CT)
·	imaging of physiological activity using probes such as radio-labelled tracers, as exemplified by nuclear medicine techniques such as single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET).
·	imaging of both structure and function, for example using magnetic field excitation in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

These modalities can be applied to:

· Pre-clinical imaging - investigational studies using involving animal models

· Clinical studies - human imaging

· Non-medical applications - such as non-destructive testing and inspection.
