Medical imaging is the technique and process of creating visual representations of the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention, as well as visual representation of the function of some organs or tissues (physiology).

Medical imaging seeks to reveal internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease.

Medical imaging also establishes a database of normal anatomy and physiology to make it possible to identify abnormalities.

Although imaging of removed organs and tissues can be performed for medical reasons, such procedures are usually considered part of pathology instead of medical imaging.

The ampere (SI unit symbol: A, dimension symbol: I), often shortened to "amp", is a unit of electric current.

In the International System of Units (SI) the ampere is one of the seven SI base units.

It is named after André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), French mathematician and physicist, considered the father of electrodynamics.

Women's health refers to the health of women, which differs from that of men in many unique ways.

Women's health is an example of population health, where health is defined by the World Health Organization as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity".

Often treated as simply women's reproductive health, many groups argue for a broader definition pertaining to the overall health of women, better expressed as "The health of women".

These differences are further exacerbated in developing countries where women, whose health includes both their risks and experiences, are further disadvantaged.
