Functional imaging (or physiological imaging) is a medical imaging technique of detecting or measuring changes in metabolism, blood flow, regional chemical composition, and absorption.
As opposed to structural imaging, functional imaging centers on revealing physiological activities within a certain tissue or organ by employing medical image modalities that very often use tracers or probes to reflect spatial distribution of them within the body. These tracers are often analogous to some chemical compounds, like glucose, within the body. To achieve this, isotopes are used because they have similar chemical and biological characteristics. By appropriate proportionality, the nuclear medicine physicians can determine the real intensity of certain substances within the body to evaluate the risk or danger of developing some diseases.

Positron emission tomography–computed tomography (better known as PET-CT or PET/CT) is a nuclear medicine technique which combines, in a single gantry, a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner and an x-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner, to acquire sequential images from both devices in the same session, which are combined into a single superposed () image. Thus, functional imaging obtained by PET, which depicts the spatial distribution of metabolic or biochemical activity in the body can be more precisely aligned or correlated with anatomic imaging obtained by CT scanning.
DISPLAYTITLE:Fluorodésoxyglucose (18F) Le fluorodésoxyglucose (18F), abrégé en 18F-FDG, est le , un analogue radiopharmaceutique du glucose dans lequel l'hydroxyle du carbone 2 du glucose est remplacé par du , un radioisotope du fluor qui se désintègre en par radioactivité β+ — c'est-à-dire en émettant des positrons — avec une période radioactive de . Le sigle FDG seul désigne stricto sensu l'analogue non radioactif du glucose, substitué avec du . Le 18F-FDG est utilisé comme traceur dans l' par tomographie par émission de positons (TEP), une méthode de scintigraphie.

L’imagerie par résonance magnétique fonctionnelle (IRMf) est une application de l' permettant de visualiser, de manière indirecte, l'activité cérébrale. Il s'agit d'une technique d'imagerie utilisée pour l'étude du fonctionnement du cerveau. Elle consiste à enregistrer des variations hémodynamiques (variation des propriétés du flux sanguin) cérébrales locales minimes, lorsque ces zones sont stimulées.
