'''Imaging technology''' is the application of materials and methods to create, preserve, or duplicate images. '''Imaging science''' is a multidisciplinary field concerned with the generation, collection, duplication, analysis, modification, and visualization of images,<ref name="hornak2002">Joseph P. Hornak, ''Encyclopedia of Imaging Science and Technology'' ([[John Wiley & Sons]], 2002) {{ISBN|9780471332763}}</ref> including imaging things that the [[human eye]] cannot detect. As an evolving field it includes research and researchers from [[physics]], [[mathematics]], [[electrical engineering]], [[computer vision]], [[computer science]], and [[perceptual psychology]].
