  1. 3. sound or other vibrations having an ultrasonic frequency, particularly as used in medical imaging.
  2. 11. medical imaging technique that uses low-dose X-rays to create detailed images of the breast tissue
  3. 12. objects block radiation rather than allow it to pass through
  4. 13. the difference in density or brightness between neighboring regions of the image
  5. 14. TECHNOLOGIST, a healthcare professional who uses medical imaging equipment like X-ray machines to create images of a patient's body for diagnostic purposes
  6. 16. the maximum voltage applied to the X-ray tube, which accelerates electrons from the cathode to the anode
  7. 19. RESONANCE IMAGING, medical imaging technique that uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the body's internal structures.

  1. 1. objects do not block radiation but let it pass.
  2. 2. the interaction of ionizing radiation with a body or material, leading to the ionization of air and the transfer of energy

  4. 5. medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to produce real-time, moving images of internal structures
  5. 6. a type of high-energy electromagnetic radiation that can penetrate solid objects, allowing it to be used to create images of the inside of the body for medical diagnosis or to inspect materials
