Outline of photography

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to photography:

Photography – process of making pictures by the action of recording light patterns, reflected or emitted from objects, on a photosensitive medium or an image sensor through a timed exposure. The process is done through mechanical, chemical, or electronic devices known as cameras.wkiej


Areas of practice[]

Applied photography[]

Scientific photography[]

Scientific imaging[]
Medical imaging[]
Main article: Medical imaging

Creating images of the human body or parts of it, to diagnose or examine disease.

  • Bioluminescence imaging – a technique for studying laboratory animals using luminescent protein.
  • Calcium imaging – determining the calcium status of a tissue using fluorescent light.
  • Diffuse optical imaging – using near-infrared light to generate images of the body.
  • Diffusion-weighted imaging – a type of MRI that uses water diffusion.
  • Endoscopy – a procedure using an endoscope to examine the interior of a hollow organ or cavity of the body.
  • Fluorescence lifetime imaging – using the decay rate of a fluorescent sample.
  • Fluorescence image-guided surgery – used to detect fluorescently labelled structures during surgery.
  • Gallium imaging – a nuclear medicine method for the detection of infections and cancers.
  • Imaging agent – a chemical designed to allow clinicians to determine whether a mass is benign or malignant.
  • Imaging studies – which includes many medical imaging techniques.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – a non-invasive method to render images of living tissues.
  • Microscopy – creating images of objects or features too small to be detectable by the naked human eye.
  • Molecular imaging – used to study molecular pathways inside organisms.
  • Non-contact thermography – is the field of thermography that derives diagnostic indications from infrared images of the human body.
  • Nuclear medicine – uses administered radioactive substances to create images of internal organs and their function.
  • Optical imaging – using light as an investigational tool for biological research and medical diagnosis.
  • Optoacoustic imaging – using the photothermal effect, for the accuracy of spectroscopy with the depth resolution of ultrasound.
  • Photoacoustic Imaging – a technique to detect vascular disease and cancer using non-ionizing laser pulses.
  • Ultrasound imaging – using very high frequency sound to visualize muscles and internal organs.
