| BMT | Bone Marrow Transplantation;골수 이식 |
| HIVD | Herniation(Herniated) of Inter-Vertebral Disc - Cervical HIVD &... |
| 99mTc | radioactive Technetium(used in Brain Skull, Thyroid, Liver, Spleen, Bone & Lung scans) |
| A>B | air greater than bone [conduction] |
| bone block | A surgical procedure in which the bone adjacent to the joint is modified to limit the motion of the joint mechanically; e.g., at the ankle joint to correct foot-drop by preventing extension below 90 |
|---|---|
| bone canaliculus | The canaliculus interconnecting bone lacunae with one another or with a haversian canal; contains the interconnecting cytoplasmic processes of osteocytes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bone cancer | <oncology> A general term to imply malignant tumour growth in bone. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bone cell | <pathology> Osteoblast that is embedded in bony tissue and which is relatively inactive. (18 Nov 1997) |
| bone cements | Adhesives used to fix prosthetic devices to bones and to cement bone to bone in difficult fractures. Synthetic resins are commonly used as cements. A mixture of monocalcium phosphate, monohydrate, alpha-tricalcium phosphate, and calcium carbonate with a sodium phosphate solution is also a useful bone paste. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone charcoal | Charcoal produced by incomplete combustion of animal tissues, especially bone. Synonym: animal black, bone black, bone charcoal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bone conduction | The conduction of sound to the inner ear through the bones of the skull. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone corpuscle | <pathology> Osteoblast that is embedded in bony tissue and which is relatively inactive. (18 Nov 1997) |
| bone cyst | See: solitary bone cyst. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bone cysts | Pathological bone spaces in the metaphyses of long bones of growing children. They are of disputed origin. Cysts may be either empty or filled with fluid and have a delicate connective tissue lining. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone cysts, aneurysmal | Solitary lesions of bone that typically cause a bulging of the overlying cortex bearing some resemblance to the saccular protrusion of the aortic wall in aortic aneurysm, hence the name. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone demineralization, pathologic | Decrease, loss, or removal of the mineral constituents of bones. Temporary loss of bone mineral content is especially associated with space flight, weightlessness, and extended immobilization. Osteoporosis is permanent, includes reduction of total bone mass, and is associated with increased rate of fractures. Calcification, physiologic is the process of bone remineralizing. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone demineralization technique | Removal of mineral constituents or salts from bone or bone tissue. Demineralization is used as a method of studying bone strength and bone chemistry. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone density | Bone density is the amount of bone tissue in a certain volume of bone. It can be measured using a special X-ray called a quantitative computed tomogram. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone development | Gross development of bones from foetus to adult. It includes osteogenesis, which is restricted to formation and development of bone from the undifferentiated cells of the germ layers of the embryo. It does not include osseointegration. (12 Dec 1998) |
