definition: Diagnostic imaging is the use of X-ray, ultrasound, radioactive isotopes, or magnetic resonance to generate graphical images of the inside of the human body for diagnostic purposes. More than 90 percent of all imaging can be performed using basic X-ray equipment and/or simple ultrasound machines. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Health; Diagnostic Imaging]
