The present invention provides medical imaging apparatus comprising a primary module for imaging a patient and a supplemental module. A controlling circuitry activates the supplemental module shortly before, during, or shortly after an imaging process using the primary module. Information, data or images of the patient acquired with the supplemental module is registered to the primary image. The invention can aid a radiologist to avoid confusion, mismatching, and other errors when he is reading the primary image； and can help a doctor to establish a correlation between conditions revealed by the primary image, and cutaneous conditions and anatomical change revealed by the supplemental module.
