Outline of photography

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.

Areas of practice

Applied photography

Scientific photography
Scientific imaging
Medical imaging
Main article: Medical imaging

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.
