| ultrasound examination | <investigation> The use of high-frequency sound waves to locate a tumour inside the body. Helps determine if a breast lump is solid tissue or filled with fluids. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| ultrasound guided biopsy | <procedure> The use of ultrasound to guide a biopsy needle to obtain a sample of tissue for analysis by a pathologist. (09 Oct 1997) |
| ultrasound imaging | <investigation, procedure> A technique in which high-frequency sound waves are bounced off internal organs and the echo pattern is converted into a 2 dimensional picture of the structures beneath the transducer. (12 May 1997) |
| ultrasound of the breast | <investigation> A test which uses ultrasonic waves to scan the breast. Used to evaluate fibrocystic breast disease, breast implants or breast masses. (27 Sep 1997) |
| ultrasound/ultrasonography | A test in which high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) are bounced off tissues and the echoes are converted into a picture (sonogram). (12 Dec 1998) |
| ultrastructural anatomy | The ultramicroscopic study of structures too small to be seen with a light microscope. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ultrastructure | <pathology> General term to describe the level of organisation that is below the level of resolution of the light microscope. In practice, a shorthand term for structure observed using the electron microscope, although other techniques could give information about structure in the sub micrometre range. (18 Nov 1997) |
| ultratherm | A short-wave diathermy machine. Origin: ultra-+ G. Therme, heat (05 Mar 2000) |
| ultraviolet | <physics> Continuous spectrum beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum (wavelength less than 400nm) and above the X-ray wavelengths (greater than 5 nm). Glass absorbs UV, so optical systems at these wavelengths have to be of quartz. Nucleic acids absorb UV most strongly at around 260nm and this is the wavelength most likely to cause mutational damage (by the formation of thymine dimers). It is the UV component of sunlight that causes actinic keratoses to form in skin, but that is also required for Vitamin D synthesis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| ultraviolet A | Ultraviolet radiation from 320 to 400 nm that causes skin tanning but is very weakly sunburn-producing and carcinogenic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ultraviolet B | Ultraviolet radiation from 290 to 320 nm that most effectively causes sunburning and tanning; excessive UVB exposure is a cause of cancer of fair skin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ultraviolet C | Ultraviolet radiation from 200 to 290 nm; UVC in sunlight does not reach the surface of the earth; germicidal and mercury arc lamps may cause sunburn and photokeratitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ultraviolet keratoconjunctivitis | Acute keratoconjunctivitis resulting from exposure to intense ultraviolet irradiation. Synonym: actinic conjunctivitis, arc-flash conjunctivitis, flash keratoconjunctivitis, ophthalmia nivalis, snow conjunctivitis, welder's conjunctivitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ultraviolet lamp | A lamp that emits rays in the ultraviolet band of the spectrum. See: ultraviolet. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ultraviolet microscope | <instrument> A microscope having optics of quartz and fluorite that allow transmission of light waves shorter than those of the visible spectrum, i.e., below 400 nm; the image is made visible by photography, fluorescence of special glasses, or television; in a scanning instrument the receptor is a multiplier phototube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ultramicroscope |
The ultramicroscope is a system of illumination for extremely small objects such as colloidal particles, fog droplets, or smoke particles. The objects are held in liquid or gaseous suspension in an enclosure with an intensely black background (usually a black body) and illuminated with a convergent pencil of very bright light entering from one side and coming to focus in the field of view - the "Tyndall cone" familiar in experiements on scattering. ...

| ultramicrotome |
A microtome is a mechanical instrument used to cut very thin slices for microscopic examination. Most microtomes use a steel blade and are used to prepare sections of animal, plant or human tissues for histology. The most common applications of microtomes are: * Traditional histological technique: tissues are hardened by replacing water with paraffin. Sections are stained and examined with a visible light microscope. Sections are 2 to 10 micrometres thick. ...

----Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength shorter than that of the visible region, but longer than that of soft X-rays. It can be subdivided into near UV (380–200 nm wavelength) and extreme or vacuum UV (200–10 nm). ...
