| spectrum | A charted band of wavelengths of electromagnetic vibrations obtained by refraction and diffraction. By extension, a measurable range of activity, such as the range of bacteria affected by an antibiotic (antibacterial spectrum) or the complete range of manifestations of a disease. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| spectrum analysis | The measurement of the amplitude of the components of a complex waveform throughout the frequency range of the waveform. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spectrum analysis, mass | Analysis of the mass of an object through means of determining the wave length(s) at which electromagnetic energy is absorbed by that object. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spectrum analysis, raman | Analysis of the intensity of raman scattering of monochromatic light as a function of frequency of the scattered light. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infrared spectrum | The part of the invisible spectrum of wave length just longer than that of visible red light. Synonym: thermal spectrum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| invisible spectrum | The radiation lying on either side of visible light, i.e., infrared and ultraviolet light. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermal spectrum | The part of the invisible spectrum of wave length just longer than that of visible red light. Synonym: thermal spectrum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| toxin spectrum | A figure in the form of a spectrum used by Ehrlich to represent the neutralizing power of antitoxin in the presence of toxin, toxone, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |

| fortification spectrum | The zigzag banding of light, resembling the walls of fortified medieval towns, that marks the margin of the scintillating scotoma of migraine. Synonym: fortification figures, telehopsias. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frequency spectrum | The range of frequencies in a signal, used to describe the resolving power of an imaging system in radiology. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anvil sound | In cases of a large pulmonary cavity or of pneumothorax, a clear metallic sound obtained by striking a coin, held against the chest, by another coin, or by flicking the chest wall with one's fingernail; the sound is heard on auscultating the chest wall on the same side anteroposteriorly. Synonym: anvil sound, bell sound, coin test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrial sound | The sound produced in late diastole in association with ventricular filling due to atrial systole and related to reduced ventricular compliance. It is a low frequency oscillation that may be normal at older ages owing to a physiologic decline in ventricular compliance but is nearly always abnormal at younger ages if it is of high intensity or palpable. It is common in ventricular hypertrophy, particularly with hypertension, and is almost invariable during acute myocardial infarction. Fourth heart sounds may arise from the right or left ventricle or both. Synonym: atrial sound. (05 Mar 2000) |
