Medical imaging consists of several technologies, or modalities, that are used to view the human body in order to diagnose, monitor, or treat medical conditions. Each modality gives different information about the area of the body being viewed. Quality imaging plays a critical role in initiatives that improve public health, and can help to reduce unnecessary medical procedures for patients.
