| 설명 | 방사성을 띠는 핵물질을 이용하여 의학에 응용하는 학문. 대개 인체에 큰 해가 없는 방사선물질을 사용하며, 반감기가 짧아 사용후에도 큰 해가 없다. 이런 핵의학적 물질을 이용한 핵의학적 진단의 가장 큰 장점은 생체내에서 일어나는 그 기관의 실제적인 기능을 알아볼 수 있다는 데 있다. 흔히 접하는 X-선을 이용한 진단방법은 단지 그 순간만의 영상을 접하여 실제로 보이는 부위가 얼마나 기능을 수행하는지 알 수 없는 단점이 있으나, 핵의학에서는 실제적인 기능의 정도에 따라 영상이 나오게 되므로 기능판별에 아주 유리하다. 하지만, 정확한 판별력이 있는 영상을 얻기에는 부족하다. 또한 핵의학은 진단외의 치료에도 사용되는데, 예를 들어 갑상샘종양의 경우 여러 곳에 이미 전이가 되어 있을 경우 방사선핵종을 이용하여 다른 곳에 큰 부작용없이 치료가 가능하다. |

|---|---|
| acne frontalis | A pyogenic infection involving follicles occurring chiefly on the forehead and temples; involution of the umbilicated and crusting lesions is followed by scar formation. Synonym: acne frontalis, acne necrotica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acne fulminans | Severe scarring acne in teenaged males, which may be associated with fever, polyarthralgia, crusted ulcerative lesions, weight loss, and anaemia. Origin: fulmen, fulminis, thunder, lightning (05 Mar 2000) |
| acne generalis | Acne lesions involving the face, chest, and back. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acne hypertrophica | Acne vulgaris in which the lesions, on healing, leave hypertrophic scars. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acne indurata | Deeply seated acne, with large papules and pustules, large scars, and hypertrophic scars. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acne keloid | A type of acneiform disorder in which secondary pyogenic infection in and around pilosebaceous structures ends in keloidal scarring. It manifests as persistent folliculitis of the back of the neck associated with occlusion of the follicular orifices. It is most often encountered in black or asian men. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acne keratosa | An eruption of papules consisting of horny plugs projecting from the hair follicles, accompanied by inflammation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acne medicamentosa | Acne caused or exacerbated by drugs, e.g., antiepileptic, halogens, steroids, tuberculostatic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acne necrotica | A pyogenic infection involving follicles occurring chiefly on the forehead and temples; involution of the umbilicated and crusting lesions is followed by scar formation. Synonym: acne frontalis, acne necrotica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acne neonatorum | A condition in newborn infants, characterised by papules and comedones on forehead and cheeks. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acne papulosa | Acne vulgaris in which the papular lesions predominate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acne punctata | Acne with black open comedones. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acne pustulosa | Acne vulgaris in which pustular lesions predominate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acne rosacea | <dermatology> A facial skin disorder which results from chronic inflammation of the cheeks, nose, chin, forehead, and-or eyelids. This is often demonstrated by increased redness or acne-like eruptions in these locations on the face. (15 Nov 1997) |
