- 1. shielding: Protective barriers made of lead or lead-equivalent materials used to reduce radiation exposure to patients and medical personnel during imaging procedures.
- 8. enhancement: Techniques or processes used to improve the quality or clarity of images produced by medical imaging technologies.
- 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.
- 11. Radiation with sufficient energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, potentially causing damage to biological tissues, commonly used in medical imaging.
- 13. Increasing or accumulating over time, often used in the context of radiation exposure and its potential long-term effects.
- 14. Medical procedures involving incisions or manipulations of body tissues to treat diseases or injuries.
- 16. Medical procedures or techniques that do not require the penetration of the skin or body cavities, typically used for diagnosis or treatment.
- 17. The ability to adapt or be adapted to many different functions or activities, often used in describing the capabilities of medical imaging technologies.
- 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.
- 22. Pertaining to the identification of diseases or conditions through analysis of symptoms, signs, and medical imaging findings.
- 24. The state of being subjected to something, often used in the context of radiation exposure during medical imaging procedures.

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