Art from inside: the application of diagnostic in art
Nowadays, the techniques of diagnostic medical imaging, such as X-ray, infrared and fluorescence radiations, are regularly used not only in the field of medicine but also for cultural heritage.
But how are these techniques used?
In the case of art paintings, diagnostic medical imaging is useful to go behind the surface of paintings in a non-invasive way and find out things that are usually invisible to the naked eye: just in the same way it does for the human body!
Bracco Foundation promotes and makes the most of the Italian cultural, historical and artistic heritage with special interest in the combination of art and science.
Michelangelo, Caravaggio, the violin of Stradivari: these are the main examples of how the application of diagnostic imaging in art can help make an important breakthrough with non-invasive techniques.
