MeSH	D051598

Whole body imaging (WBI) refers to the internal display of the entire body in a single procedure.

It may refer to one of two types of Full body scanner technologies used for security screening such as in airports:

Backscatter X-ray
Infra-red thermal difference detection

In medical imaging, it may also refer to full-body CT scan or magnetic resonance imaging.
