The discipline of Medical Imaging focuses on the pictorial representation of the temporal, contextual and spatial states of being. Pictorial states of being reflect the individual's state of physical health. Pictorial representations are necessary to affirm health and/or illness. The creation of pictorial images requires a humanistic, liberally educated professional who is effectively, cognitively and technologically skilled in the production and interpretation of pictorial images.
