Imaging, in its broadest sense, is the process of creating visual representations of objects or phenomena. It's a way of "seeing" things that might otherwise be invisible to the naked eye, whether they are too small, too distant, too opaque, or happening too quickly. This fundamental capability makes imaging indispensable across a vast array of fields, from peering into the complexities of the human body to capturing the grandeur of distant galaxies. It's a field that thrives on interdisciplinary collaboration, drawing on principles from physics, mathematics, computer science, engineering, biology, and many other disciplines to push the boundaries of what we can visualize and understand.
