echo planar imaging

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.
imaging /imag·ing/ (im´ah-jing) the production of diagnostic images, e.g., radiography, ultrasonography, or scintillation photography.
color flow Doppler imaging  a method of visualizing direction and velocity of movement using Doppler ultrasonography and coding them as colors and shades, respectively.
echo planar imaging  a technique for obtaining a magnetic resonance image in less than 50 msec.
electrostatic imaging  a method of visualizing deep structures of the body, in which an electron beam is passed through the patient and the emerging beam strikes an electrostatically charged plate, dissipating the charge according to the strength of the beam. A film is then made from the plate.
gated cardiac blood pool imaging  equilibrium radionuclide angiocardiography.
gated magnetic resonance imaging  a method for magnetic resonance imaging in which signal acquisition is gated to minimize motion or other artifacts.
hot spot imaging , infarct avid imaging see under scintigraphy.
magnetic resonance imaging  (MRI) a method of visualizing soft tissues of the body by applying an external magnetic field that makes it possible to distinguish between hydrogen atoms in different environments.
myocardial perfusion imaging  see under scintigraphy.
pyrophosphate imaging  infarct avid scintigraphy.
technetium Tc 99m pyrophosphate imaging 
2. any type of imaging using Tc 99m pyrophosphate as an imaging agent.

echo planar imaging (EPI),
