[edit] Merge proposal

Against merging. They are different things to me. Miguel Andrade 14:44, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

How do we remove this merge suggestion then? 152.105.175.153 08:30, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] medical imaging service

Is this relevant? It might make a separate page, if rewritten, similar to pages on other occupations, such as biochemist -- which , by the way, is a very weak page and not intended as a model. DGG 04:16, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I tend to feel it is relevant here, but I have no actual objection to someone splitting it into a separate article. 2*6 11:26, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Symbol?

Is the image Image:50pman medical imaging.svg an official symbol of any kind? It is presented as such, though I believe this is not the case. A "home-cooked" symbol is not a suitable illustration for "Medical imaging". Arru 13:43, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Images?

Considering the topic, would more medical images from the various technologies be in order? Thanks. 68.113.47.82 19:12, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Synchrotron as source for medical imaging

The synchrotron is listed as a source for medical imaging. I do not have references, but I am highly suspicious. While excellent images can be produced by synchrotron beams (and derivatives), these beams would likely be fatal for a live subject. They are, however, used for non-destructive probing fossilized specimens and for other industrial applications.

Does anyone have examples of where imaging using synchrotron beams (or derived sources) for scanning live subjects? I doubt they exist, but also understand that some form of filtered and/or derived beam could have medical applications... Enquire (talk) 21:37, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
