Medical imaging techniques allow for detailed visualization of body structures such as soft tissues, bones, internal organs, vascular tissue, the brain, muscles, joints, etc. The application of these techniques enables the study and understanding of the body's internal functions without the need for invasive procedures.

Medical imaging techniques are considered cross-disciplinary as they can be applied to a wide range of pathologies, facilitating a better understanding of pathological processes and enabling the identification of new biomarkers.
