An imagery analyst gathers information from various types of images. The kind of pictures that you work with depends on the nature of your job. You may work with screenshots, photographs, satellite pictures, infrared pictures, or ultrasounds. You evaluate the images and interpret what you see. During the analysis, you identify relevant information and document your findings. Your duties also include performing background research to verify the information that you get from the image. An imagery analyst can work in the medical field, scientific research, or geography. The military and government agencies also use analysts to find information for intelligence purposes.
