| 영문 | Rorschach Test | 한글 | 로르샤하 검사 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 사고장애와 정서장애에 민감한 투사검사(projective test). 검은색과 몇가지 색으로 이루어진 잉크얼룩같은 도형이 그려진 10개의 카드를 이용한다. 피검자에게 카드를 보이고 본 것에 대해 말하도록 한다. 다음에는 얼룩의 어느 위치가 피검자가 말한 지각대상을 암시하는지 찾도록 한다. 피검자의 답변을 분석하면 그의 사고와 정서상태에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있다. |

| 영문 | Mantoux test | 한글 | 망토우검사 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 소아에 주로 실시하는 검사 방법으로, BCG접종후에나 혹은 결핵균에 한번이라도 노출된 경우에 양성반응으로 나온다. 우리나라에서는 생후 1개월에 BCG예방접종을 시행하므로 대부분 양성으로 나오게 되나, 이 예방접종을 받지 않은 상태에서 양성으로 나오면, 결핵균의 침투를 의심할 수 있다. |

| 영문 | stress test | 한글 | 스트레스 검사 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 협심증이 일어나기 쉬운 환자에게서 그 정도를 판단하기위해 시행한다. 방법은 같은 곳에서 환자를 달리도록 한 다음, 얼마의 속도에서 혈압이 떨어지고 협심증 증상이 나타나는가를 검사한다. 대개 심할수록 낮은 속도에서도 증상이 빨리 나타난다. |

| 영문 | visual field test | 한글 | 시야검사 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 눈을 한곳에 고정시킨 채, 관찰할 수 있는 주변공간을 시야라 한다. 시야를 검사하는 가장 간단한 방법은 대면검사(confronting test)이다. 이것은 피검사자의 눈을 검사자의 눈에 맞추어 보도록 하여 눈을 고정시킨채, 검사자가 손가락끝을 위쪽, 아래쪽, 왼쪽, 오른쪽, 그리고 비스듬히 경사진 곳 등으로 옮겨보아 피검사자가 관찰할 수 있는지 여부를 정하는 검사법이다. 이보다 정확한 검사법은 자동식 컴퓨터시야검사법이 있다. 대개, 눈자체의 이상이 있어도 시야검사에서 이상이 나오지만, 이외 뇌의 이상으로 시각의 형성경로에 이상이 있어도 역시 이상소견을 보인다. |

| 영문 | Draw a person test | 한글 | 인물화 성격검사 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 인물화 성격검사는 처음에는 지능검사로 개발되었고, 그 후에는 사람의 무의식의 요소를 검사하는 방법으로 발전하였다. 검사재료는 지우개가 있는 연필과 백지를 피검자에게 주고, 사람을 그려보라는 지시를 하며, 검사자는 그리는 순서와 평가를 기록하고, 다 그린 후에는 먼저와 다른 이성을 그리도록 한다. 이 검사에서의 신체의 모양은 곧 자아상을 반영한다는 입장, 그림에서 강조된 기관은 의사소통수단, 관념화, 욕구체계, 성적 능력, 갈등, 좌절경험, 성장력 등을 반영한다고 한다. 이것은 아동과 성인에게 개별적 또는 집단적으로 실시할 수 있고, 간편하면서도 유익한 것이다. 임상적으로는 뇌의 기질적 변화를 알아내기 위한 목적으로도 많이 이용된다. |

pervasive developmental disorder
| developmental disability | Loss of function brought on by prenatal and postnatal events in which the predominant disturbance is in the acquisition of cognitive, language, motor, or social skills; e.g., mental retardation, autistic disorder, learning disorder, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

| developmental grooves | Fine lines found in the enamel of a tooth that mark the junction of the lobes of the crown in its development. Synonym: developmental lines. (05 Mar 2000) |

| developmental psychology | The study of the psychological, physiological, and behavioural changes in an organism that occur from birth to old age. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cancer, colon: screening and surveillance | Colon cancer is both preventable and curable. It is preventable by removing precancerous colon polyps. It is curable if early cancer is surgically removed before cancer spread to other parts of the body. Therefore, if screening and surveillance programs were practiced universally, there would be a major reduction in the incidence and mortality of colon cancer. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genetic screening | The process of testing individuals to find out if they carry genes for certain known genetic diseases, such as sickle cell anaemia. (09 Oct 1997) |
| carrier screening | Indiscriminate examination of members of a population to detect heterozygotes for serious disorders and counsel about the risks of marriages with other carriers, and by antenatal diagnosis where a married couple are both carriers; often sacrifices precision to simplicity and is most effectively applied to populations known to be at high risk. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mass screening | Organised periodic procedures performed on large groups of people for the purpose of detecting disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vision screening | Application of tests and examinations to identify visual defects or vision disorders occurring in specific populations, as in school children, the elderly, etc. It is differentiated from vision tests, which are given to evaluate/measure individual visual performance not related to a specific population. (12 Dec 1998) |
| multiphasic screening | The simultaneous use of multiple laboratory procedures for the detection of various diseases. These are usually performed on groups of people. (12 Dec 1998) |
| prenatal screening | Screening for the detection of foetal disease, usually by ultrasound examination or by testing amniotic fluid obtained by amniocentesis. Other screening techniques include testing maternal serum and placental biopsy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cytologic screening | A screening for the detection of early disease, usually cancer, through microscopic examination of a cellular specimen by inspecting each cell and structure present, usually at ×100 magnification with a mechanical stage, so that all areas are screened; the findings are evaluated and significant abnormalities are flagged (e.g., by dotting the cover slip) for further evaluation by a cytopathologist. This screening is usually performed by a cytotechnologist, but at times is done by automated machine prescreening. (05 Mar 2000) |
| screening | Examination of people with no symptoms, to detect unsuspected disease. (16 Dec 1997) |
| screening audiometry | Rapid measurement of the hearing of an individual or a group against a predetermined limit of normalcy; auditory responses to different frequencies presented at a constant intensity level are tested. (05 Mar 2000) |
