Parent topics
- Radiology [r]: A physician specialty with a core competence in obtaining and diagnosing by means of instruments that receive energy transmitted through the body; there are a number of subspecialties. [e]
- Radioisotope [r]: Add brief definition or description
Subtopics
- Anger camera [r]: A device used to form images from the bursts of light generated by collimated gamma rays striking a scintillating material, typically in nuclear medicine [e]
- Positron emission tomography [r]: A medical imaging technique using compounds labelled with short-lived positron-emitting radionuclides (such as carbon-11, nitrogen-13, oxygen-15 and fluorine-18) to measure cell metabolism. [e]
- Single proton emission computed tomography [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Radiation protection [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Digital imaging and communications in medicine [r]: A set of technical specifications for putting medical information consisting of images, of all types, into digital form, such that they can be stored in a computer system or transmitted to a remote computer [e]
- Photon [r]: elementary particle with zero rest mass and unit spin associated with the electromagnetic field. [e]
- Positron [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Computed tomography [r]: An imaging technique that computes three-dimensional representations of an object from a series of two-dimensional x-ray images. [e]
- Neuroimaging [r]: A group of techniques used to visualize structure and function of nervous systems, especially the vertebrate brain. [e]
- Medical imaging [r]: The generation of visual representations of clinically relevant objects. [e]
- Hyperthyroidism [r]: Abnormalities of calorigenic mechanisms, body tissues, blood, and nervous systems resulting from an excessive elaboration of thyroid hormone. [e]
- Osteoporosis [r]: Reduction of bone mass without alteration in the composition of bone, leading to fractures. [e]
