Medical imaging is a critical tool in the diagnosis of health conditions, and therefore in decisions about the most appropriate and effective treatment of patients. This technology has developed at a significant rate in recent decades, and is making possible a whole range of important advances in the way we look after people's health. Behind the technology of medical imagining are a number of important principles of physics, and it is this discipline which has underpinned the advances made in modern health care.
