| 영문 | uterine tube, salpinx | 한글 | 자궁관 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 1. 난소와 자궁을 연결하는 관. 이곳을 통해 난자가 자궁으로 운반된다. 또한 수정된 수정란이 자궁외에 착상하는 자궁외임신이 가장 많이 발생하는 장소이다. 2. 좁은 의미로 귀인두관과 자궁관을 지칭한다. |

| 영문 | infrared ray | 한글 | 적외선 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 파장이 가시광선보다 길며 극초단파보다 짧은 750μm~1mm의 전자파. 눈으로는 볼 수 없고 일반적으로 공기 가운데에서 산란되기 어려우며, 가시광선보다 투과력이 강하다. 사진 적외선-근적외선-원적외선 따위로 나눌 수 있는데, 단파장 부분에는 사진 작용-형광 작용-광전 작용이 있어, 적외선 사진이나 적외선 통신-물질 감정-의료 따위에 이용한다. 1800년에 허셀이 발견되었다. 적외선은 물질에 부딛치며 구성분자의 열운동을 일으켜서 열효과를 주게되므로 열선이라고도 불린다. 태양광선의 약 52%는 적외선이다. 700~800nm의 적외선은 인체피부를 투과해서 피하에까지 이른다. 과도의 적외선 조사는 피부에 온열성홍반을 일으키게 해서 화상을 일으킬 수 있다. |

| truncus arteriosus, persistent | A congenital anomaly resulting from the failure of the aorticopulmonary system to develop and divide the truncus arteriosus into the aorta and the pulmonary trunk. (12 Dec 1998) |

| actinic ray | A light ray toward and beyond the violet end of the spectrum that acts upon a photographic plate and produces other chemical effects. Synonym: chemical ray. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alpha ray | <physics> A radioactive particle made up of two protons and two neutrons, these particles are created by the decay of a radioactive material or by nuclear bombardment, and they are the same as the nucleus of a helium-4 atom. (09 Oct 1997) |
| ap, X-ray | An X-ray picture in which the beams pass from front-to-back (anteroposterior). As opposed to a PA (posteroanterior) film in which the rays pass through the body from back-to-front. (12 Dec 1998) |
| beta ray | 1. <radiobiology> Original term used for electrons (and positrons) ejected from decaying nuclei via beta emission. (Label derives from the old days when we had various kinds of radiation emission, and they were labelled alpha, beta, and gamma (the first letters of the Greek Alphabet) because no one really knew what any of them were.) 2. A stream of positive or negative electrons ejected with high energy from a disintegrating atomic nucleus; most biomedically used isotopes emit negative particles (electrons or negatrons, rather than positrons). Cathode rays are low-energy negative electrons produced in cathode ray tubes, also called television tubes or oscilloscopes. (12 Sep 2000) |
| gamma ray | <radiobiology> Electromagnetic radiation (photons) with energies greater than (roughly) 100 keV (that is, 100,000 electron volts). Gamma radiation frequently accompanies alpha and beta decays, and always accompanies fission. Gamma rays are highly penetrating and are best shielded against using dense materials, such as lead or depleted uranium. (Gamma rays are similar to X-rays, but are generally higher in energy and nuclear in origin.) Gamma rays have wavelengths of 1 nanometre or shorter. These are highly energised, deeply penetrating photons which can be emitted from an atomic nucleus during nuclear fission (the splitting of an atom) and during regular atomic decay (radioactivity). (13 Oct 1997) |
| gamma ray knife | A beam of high energy X-rays. See: radiosurgery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| panoramic X-ray | <dentistry> An X-ray taken by a machine that rotates around your head to give the orthodontist a picture of your teeth, jaws and other important information. (08 Jan 1998) |
| panoramic X-ray film | In dentistry, a radiograph taken to give a panoramic view of the entire upper and lower dental arch as well as the temporomandibular joints. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ray | <botany> A zygomorphic flower in the family Asteraceae, a radial band of cells traversing the conducting elements in woody stems. Of a compound umbel, one of the first (lower) series of branches of the inflorescence main stem. (09 Oct 1997) |
| ray grass | <botany> A perennial European grass (Lolium perenne). Synonym: rye grass, and red darnel. See Darnel, and Grass. Italian ray, or rye, grass. See Darnel, and Grass. Origin: Etymol. Of ray is uncertain. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| ray, light | <microscopy> The term applied to the lines perpendicular to the wavefronts of waves of light to indicate their direction of travel in an isotropic medium. Note the wave normal and the ray do not coincide in isotropic media. (05 Aug 1998) |
| ray therapeutics | An obsolete term for radiotherapy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mass chest X-ray | X-ray screening of large groups of persons for diseases of the lung and heart by means of radiography of the chest. (12 Dec 1998) |
| reflected ray | A ray of light or other form of radiant energy which is thrown back from a nonpermeable or nonabsorbing surface; the ray which strikes the surface before reflection is the incident ray. (05 Mar 2000) |
