Abstract
Besides conventional imaging methods using optics, electrooptics, and X-rays, a number of unconventional methods have been developed over the past 80 years. Although the medical applications have received great publicity recently, the others have received very little because they have been widely spread in geography and time. All I can do is make two “sections” through all of this material and show that, in the sense of this meeting, they intersect in medicine.
