Scientists and clinicians have a keen interest in studying not just the structure of physiological systems, but their motion also, or more generally form function. This paper focuses on technologies that underpin vivo measurements function human body for both research medical treatment. A concise literature review x-ray imaging, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance radionuclide laser Doppler velocimetry, particle image velocimetry is presented. Additionally, detailed imaging Finally, two techniques, which authors believe are representative present future
