| video-assisted thoracic surgery | A less morbid alternative to "open" thoracotomy that employs cameras, optic systems, percutaneous stapling devices, and assorted endoscopic graspers, retractors, and forceps. Also called video thoracoscopic surgery, it can be selectively applied to various pulmonary, pleural, and pericardial lesions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| computer-assisted instruction | A self-learning technique, usually online, involving interaction of the student with programmed instructional materials. (12 Dec 1998) |
| signal processing, computer-assisted | Computer-assisted processing of electric, ultrasonic, or electronic signals to interpret function and activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spectrometry, mass, matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization | A mass spectrometric technique that is used for the analysis of large biomolecules. Analyte molecules are embedded in an excess matrix of small organic molecules that show a high resonant absorption at the laser wavelength used. The matrix absorbs the laser energy, thus inducing a soft disintegration of the sample-matrix mixture into free (gas phase) matrix and analyte molecules and molecular ions. In general, only molecular ions of the analyte molecules are produced, and almost no fragmentation occurs. This makes the method well suited for molecular weight determinations and mixture analysis.

| suicide, assisted | Deliberate acceleration of death of a competent patient with an incurable disease or in the extremes of suffering. The patient seeking assistance in taking his own life may ask the help of a physician or other health professional, a family member, or a friend. The milieu may be a hospital, nursing home, or private residence. Assistance to the person in dire physical or psychological distress may take the form of lethal doses of medications or chemicals to be taken orally or by injection through human intervention or with a so-called suicide machine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| numerical analysis, computer-assisted | Computer-assisted study of methods for obtaining useful quantitative solutions to problems that have been expressed mathematically. (12 Dec 1998) |
| decision making, computer-assisted | Use of an interactive computer system designed to assist the physician or other health professional in choosing between certain relationships or variables for the purpose of making a diagnostic or therapeutic decision. (12 Dec 1998) |

| drug therapy, computer-assisted | Adjunctive computer programs in providing drug treatment to patients. (12 Dec 1998) |
| image interpretation, computer-assisted | Computer systems developed to aid in the interpretation of ultrasound, radiographic images, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| image processing, computer-assisted | A technique of inputting two-dimensional images into a computer and then enhancing or analyzing the imagery into a form that is more useful to the human observer. (12 Dec 1998) |
| therapy, computer-assisted | Computer systems utilised as adjuncts in the treatment of disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| laparoscopically assisted surgery | Operative procedure performed using combined laparoscopic and open techniques; most commonly applied to colon or small intestinal resections with anastomosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laser-assisted balloon angioplasty | <cardiology, procedure> Techniques using laser energy in combination with a balloon catheter to perform angioplasty. These procedures can take several forms including: 1. Laser fibre delivering the energy while the inflated balloon centres the fibre and occludes the blood flow. 2. Balloon angioplasty immediately following laser angioplasty. 3. Laser energy transmitted through angioplasty balloons that contain an internal fibre. (05 Mar 2000) |
