Diagnostic imaging is a branch of medicine that focuses on the production of images to view the inside of the body for clues about a medical condition. A variety of machines and techniques can create pictures of the structures and activities inside the body. Many imaging tests are painless and easy. Some involve radiation, but these are generally considered safe because the dosage is very low. Some do not use radiation but instead images are produced with high frequency sound waves and magnetic fields. 

X-rays, CT scans, nuclear medicine scans, MRI scans, ultrasound, DXA and mammography are all types of diagnostic imaging. The technology, or modality, used will depend on a number of factors such as symptoms and the part of the body being examined.
