A new use of the term "imaging" by the archiving industry. The term had already been well established to include a number of technologies which produce pictures of body structures or functioning, see" imaging (diagnostic)". The archiving industry uses it to mean, primarily, storing analog images and digital images of documents (including text, x-rays, electrocardiograph tracings, etc.), especially in medical records, on CD-ROM or some other electronic medium. This electronic storage is a replacement, in the main, for microfilming. The reader must now must often inquire as to which meaning is intended.
