Outline of photography
Art and practice of creating images by recording light
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.

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.
