Non-invasive imaging broadly encompasses techniques for generating images of the internal structures or regions of an object or person that are otherwise inaccessible for visual inspection. One of the best known uses of non-invasive imaging is in the medical arts where these techniques are used to generate images of organs ... inside a patient which would otherwise not be visible. Examples of such non-invasive imaging modalities include X-ray radiography and other X-ray based imaging techniques, such as tomosynthesis. 2, record 2, English, - non%2Dinvasive%20medical%20imaging

L'imagerie médicale numérique s'est développée de façon très progressive. Apparue avec la médecine nucléaire dans les années 60, elle s'est réellement développée avec l'apparition de la tomographie à rayons X dans les années 70 et 80. Au plan technique[,] ce développement a été rendu possible par la diffusion des miniordinateurs. Puis sont apparues la radiologie numérique, l'échographie ultrasonore et l'imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM). Toutes ces nouvelles modalités d'exploration radiologique ont littéralement révolutionné le diagnostic médical. 1, record 4, French, - imagerie%20m%C3%A9dicale%20num%C3%A9rique
