Bioimaging is the most intuitive way to present the structure and activity of living organisms. Biological imaging technology has promoted the development of life science and related scientific fields. Many countries in Europe and the United States have incorporated the construction of bio-imaging facilities into the country's important strategic layout, and some facilities have begun to play an important role in scientific research in various countries. This paper reveals the impact on the development of the discipline through the analysis on output and citations of SCI papers produced by the famous bioimaging science facility the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB). Based on technical patent analysis, the development trend of bioimaging facilities is found. It provides a valuable reference for the planning and construction of bio-imaging facilities in China.
