Surface Forms

neuroimaging singular
neuroimaging plural

Morphology

neuroimaging = imaging (transparent) = neuro + image + ing

The word is transparently built from the combining form neuro- and imaging, with the meaning directly related to producing brain or nervous-system images.

Etymology

Neuroimaging joins neuro- meaning 'nerve', as in neuron or neurology, and imaging meaning 'making pictures'. So neuroimaging is about making pictures of the brain or nervous system, which is why doctors and researchers use it to look inside the head.
