Abstract
Medical imaging is the process of creating visual images of the interior of a living body for clinical analysis and medical treatment, as well as to provide visual representation of the function of some organs or tissues. Medical imaging is done to reveal internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, so as to diagnose the disease accurately and treat it properly. Through medical imaging, a database of normal anatomy and physiology is also established to make it possible to mark the abnormalities.
