Imaging: the technique and process of creating visual representations of the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention, as well as visual representation of the function of some organs or tissues (physiology). Medical imaging seeks to reveal internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease. Medical imaging also establishes a database of normal anatomy and physiology to make it possible to identify abnormalities. Although imaging of removed organs and tissues can be performed for medical reasons, such procedures are usually considered part of pathology instead of medical imaging.
Overview and learning objectives: Lupus anticoagulants are consistently present in patients at risk of thrombosis as a result of underlying antiphospholipid syndrome (aPS), a dangerous disor...
Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) are a reliable, sensitive, and accurate diagnostic approach used in viral detection. The approach involves the isolation of nucleic acids from a sampl...
