| scanning transmission electron microscopy | <procedure> Method of electron microscopy in which image formation depends upon analysis of the pattern of energies of electrons that pass through the specimen. Has comparable resolving power to conventional transmission EM. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| scanning tunnelling microscopy | <procedure> A form of ultra high resolution microscopy of a surface in which a very small current is passed through a surface and is detected by a microprobe of atomic dimnensions at its tip that scans the surface by use of a piezodrive. In the simplest form the current transferred to the probe is recorded as an indication of the contours of molecules on the surface above the local plane. In more complex forms feedback is used to hold the probe at a constant difference and the signal in the feedback loop indicates the contours of the molecule. Capable of resolving single atoms and known to work for nonconducting molecules as well as conducting ones. (18 Nov 1997) |
| scanogram | A radiographic technique for showing true dimensions by moving a narrow orthogonal beam of X-rays along the length of the structure being measured, e.g., the lower extremities. Origin: scan-+ G. Gramma, something written (05 Mar 2000) |
| scans | Imaging of body tissue, usually using radioactive substances. (16 Dec 1997) |
| scansores | <ornithology> An artifical group of birds formerly regarded as an order. They are distributed among several orders by modern ornithologists. The toes are in pairs, two before and two behind, by which they are enabled to cling to, and climb upon, trees, as the woodpeckers, parrots, cuckoos, and trogons. Origin: L. Scandere, scansum, to climb. (11 Mar 1998) |
| scansorial | <zoology> Capable of climbing; as, the woodpecker is a scansorial bird; adapted for climbing; as, the scansorial foot. Of or pertaining to the Scansores. <zoology> Scansorial tail, a tail in which the feathers are stiff and sharp at the tip, as in the woodpeckers. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| scant | 1. Not full, large, or plentiful; scarcely sufficient; less than is wanted for the purpose; scanty; meager; not enough; as, a scant allowance of provisions or water; a scant pattern of cloth for a garment. "His sermon was scant, in all, a quarter of an hour." (Ridley) 2. Sparing; parsimonious; chary. "Be somewhat scanter of your maiden presence." (Shak) Synonym: See Scanty. Origin: Icel. Skamt, neuter of skamr, skammr, short; cf. Skamta to dole out, to portion. 1. To limit; to straiten; to treat illiberally; to stint; as, to scant one in provisions; to scant ourselves in the use of necessaries. "Where man hath a great living laid together and where he is scanted." (Bacon) "I am scanted in the pleasure of dwelling on your actions." (Dryden) 2. To cut short; to make small, narrow, or scanty; to curtail. "Scant not my cups." Origin: Scanted; Scanting. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| Scanzoni's manoeuvre | Forceps rotation and traction in a spiral course, with reapplication of forceps for delivery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Scanzoni's second os | A constriction located at the junction of the thinned lower uterine segment with the thick retracted upper uterine segment, resulting from obstructed labour; this is one of the classic signs of threatened rupture of the uterus. Synonym: Bandl's ring, Baudelocque's uterine circle, Scanzoni's second os. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Scanzoni, Friedrich | <person> German obstetrician, 1821-1891. See: Scanzoni's manoeuvre, Scanzoni's second os. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sector scan | In ultrasonography, a system in which the transducer or transmitted ultrasound beam is rotated through an angle, resulting in a pie-shaped image. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| slow scan | <microscopy> A system of video scanning in which the time used to read each line has been increased in comparison to standard video. The bandwidth needed to faithfully transmit or record the signal is reduced in inverse ratio to the scanning time. Slow scan allows the video signal to be transmitted over a telephone line, or line scans to be registered on a chart recorder. (19 Jan 1998) |
| nuclear bone scan | A nuclear medicine test that involves the introduction of a radioactive compound into the blood stream. The radioactive compound acts as a tracer and allows for the imaging of the bony skeleton. (27 Sep 1997) |
| nuclear heart scan | This noninvasive test uses radioactive tracers to delineate the hearts chambers and major vessels. It may be used to detect a heart attack, heart muscle function and coronary artery disease. The patient receives a radioactive tracer by injection (into a vein) and then the heart is imaged using a gamma camera. The heart is imaged before and after exercise. This test may be used to detect and evaluate atrial septal defect, dilated cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, Lyme disease (secondary), mitral stenosis and superior vena cava syndrome. (27 Sep 1997) |
| nuclear scan: adrenals | A nuclear scan that images the adrenal glands after a radioactive tracer is injected into the bloodstream. This test is useful in detecting a pheochromocytoma, particularly if it not within the adrenal gland. (27 Sep 1997) |
| duplex Doppler scan | A method of visualizing and selectively assessing the flow patterns of peripheral arteries and veins using ultrasound imaging and pulsed Doppler. (05 Mar 2000) |
| testicular scan | <radiology> Tc-99m pertechnetate 30 mCi, interpretation: torsion = cold defect, epididymo-orchitis = hot spot, trauma = hot or cold (12 Dec 1998) |
| thallium heart scan | <cardiology, investigation, radiology> A test which involves the introduction of a radioactive tracer into the bloodstream. The radioactive tracer is then measured with a special camera and a determination of coronary artery blood flow can be made. (27 Sep 1997) |
| thyroid scan | A picture taken of the thyroid gland after radioactive iodine is taken by mouth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| EMI scan | Historically, the name commonly used for computed tomography of the head, the technique devised by Hounsfield, who was a scientist at EMI, an English electronics firm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| liver scan | <investigation> A way of visualising the liver by injecting into the bloodstream a trace dose of a radioactive substance which helps visualize the organ during X-ray. (09 Oct 1997) |
| liver-spleen scan | <radiology> Tc-99m sulfur colloid or albumin colloid, particles less than 1 m, dose = 4-8 mCi Distribution, liver 85%, spleen 10%, bone marrow 5% Findings, liver: hot / cold, spleen: hot / cold (12 Dec 1998) |

| scanner |
A scanner is a radio receiver generally capable of picking up AM and FM (and sometimes SSB) radio signals anywhere from 100 kHz to 3.3 GHz. Popular amongst hobbyists, reporters, bounty hunters, prying neighbors, corporate spies, criminals and lawyers alike, scanners allow chosen frequencies to be stored in memory banks to allow them to be monitored later and will only stop 'scanning' when there is a signal strong enough to break the radio's squelch setting. ...
