Abstract :
Noninvasive imaging technologies are expected to play a significant role in the area of medical diagnosis and industrial imaging. The engineers of the 21st century will need the appropriate skill to master the power of new technologies. To face the challenges of the new century, a strong impulse toward a multidisciplinary and diversified engineering knowledge will be essential. Some examples of noninvasive imaging (spiral CT, microwave imaging, hybrid modalities) and image enhancement techniques are presented
