  1. 1. shielding: Protective barriers made of lead or lead-equivalent materials used to reduce radiation exposure to patients and medical personnel during imaging procedures.
  2. 8. enhancement: Techniques or processes used to improve the quality or clarity of images produced by medical imaging technologies.
  3. 9. The process of creating images of the internal structures of an object, especially the human body, by exposing it to X-rays or gamma rays.
  4. 11. Radiation with sufficient energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, potentially causing damage to biological tissues, commonly used in medical imaging.
  5. 13. Increasing or accumulating over time, often used in the context of radiation exposure and its potential long-term effects.
  6. 14. Medical procedures involving incisions or manipulations of body tissues to treat diseases or injuries.
  7. 16. Medical procedures or techniques that do not require the penetration of the skin or body cavities, typically used for diagnosis or treatment.
  8. 17. The ability to adapt or be adapted to many different functions or activities, often used in describing the capabilities of medical imaging technologies.
  9. 20. The ability to accomplish a task with minimal waste of time, effort, or resources, often used in evaluating the performance of medical imaging systems.
  10. 22. Pertaining to the identification of diseases or conditions through analysis of symptoms, signs, and medical imaging findings.
  11. 24. The state of being subjected to something, often used in the context of radiation exposure during medical imaging procedures.

  1. 2. imaging: Non-traditional or emerging techniques for medical imaging, often used when conventional methods are not feasible or effective.
  2. 3. A medical imaging technique used to visualize the blood vessels in various parts of the body, typically using X-rays and contrast agents.
  3. 4. A unit of energy measurement equivalent to one thousand electron volts, often used in describing the energy of X-ray beams.
  4. 5. Standardized procedures or guidelines followed in medical practice, particularly in the context of medical imaging.
  5. 6. Investigations or examinations conducted to gather information or data, often used in the context of medical research or diagnostic imaging.
  6. 7. Electromagnetic radiation used for medical imaging to visualize the inside of objects, particularly the human body, by capturing images of the internal structures.
  7. 10. The process of handling or controlling something, such as diseases or conditions, typically after they have been detected or diagnosed.
  8. 12. The process of producing visual representations or images of objects, particularly the internal structures of the human body, for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
  9. 15. The process of identifying or discovering the presence of something, such as abnormalities or diseases, often used in the context of medical imaging.
  10. 18. Medical imaging techniques or procedures that use minimal amounts of radiation to reduce the risk of harm to patients.
  11. 19. The degree of compactness of a substance, often used in describing the appearance of tissues or structures in medical images.
  12. 21. A technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of the internal structures of a patient, often used during medical procedures.
  13. 23. Tomography (CT): An imaging procedure that uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body.
