| MCP | maximum closure pressure; maximum contraction pattern; malanocortin receptor; melphalan, cyclophosph... |
| MCPP | metacarpophalangeal pattern profile; metacarpophalangeal profile; meta-chlorophenylpiperazine |
| MCPPP | metacarpophalangeal pattern profile plot |
| MPB | male pattern baldness; meprobamate |
| pattern recognition | In information retrieval, machine-sensing or identification of visible patterns (shapes, forms, and configurations). (harrod's librarians' glossary, 7th ed) (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| pattern recognition, visual | Visually perceived characters, shapes, displays, or designs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pattern sensitive epilepsy | A form of reflex epilepsy precipitated by viewing certain patterns. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reticulonodular pattern | A somewhat net-like chest radiographic pattern, with nodular thickening at the intersections of the lines; a non-specific interstitial pattern. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reverse pulmonary oedema pattern | <radiology> Loeffler pneumonia, chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (12 Dec 1998) |
| ground-glass pattern | Radiographic or CT appearance of hazy opacity which fails to obscure pulmonary vascular markings. (05 Mar 2000) |
| RNA splicing pattern | <molecular biology> The combination of DNA sequences copied from a gene by messenger RNA. The mRNAs transcribed from a single gene may splice together different parts of the sequence of the gene. (23 Aug 1998) |
| miliary pattern | A chest radiographic pattern of fine, rounded opacities, typical of haematogenous dissemination of tuberculosis; size has some relationship to that of a millet seed. (05 Mar 2000) |
| moire pattern | <microscopy> A pattern developed from interference or light blocking, when gratings, screens, or regularly spaced patterns are superimposed on one another. (05 Aug 1998) |
| wax pattern | A pattern of wax that, when invested and burned out or otherwise eliminated, will produce a mold in which a casting may be made. Synonym: wax form. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mosaic pattern | On high-resolution CT scans of the lungs, a pattern of brighter and darker regions corresponding to differences in perfusion or aeration; found in some cases of chronic thromboembolism or of bronchiolitis obliterans. Compare: oligaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| honeycomb pattern | Dense, slightly irregular circular shadows, most common next to the pleura at the lung base, on chest radiographs or CT; caused by chronic interstitial fibrosis of diverse causes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hourglass pattern | A vigorous ringlike contraction observed angiographically in the left ventricular angiogram in the right anterior oblique projection, resembling an hourglass; it is seen in the prolapsed mitral valve leaflet syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interstitial pattern | One of several chest radiographic patterns associated with interstitial infiltration or thickening, including honeycomb pattern, miliary pattern, reticulonodular pattern, or septal lines. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occlusal pattern | The form of the occlusal surface of a tooth or a row of teeth. Synonym: occlusal pattern. (05 Mar 2000) |
