| Wernicke's radiation | The massive, fanlike fibre system passing from the lateral geniculate body of the thalamus to the visual cortex (striate or calcarine cortex, area 17 of Brodmann); the fibres follow the retrolenticular and sublenticular limbs of the internal capsule into the corona radiata but they curve back along the lateral wall of the temporal and occipital horns of the lateral ventricle to the striate cortex on the medial surface and pole of the occipital lobe. Synonym: radiatio optica, geniculocalcarine radiation, geniculocalcarine tract, Gratiolet's fibres, Gratiolet's radiation, occipitothalamic radiation, Wernicke's radiation. (05 Mar 2000) |

| corpuscular radiation | Radiation consisting of streams of subatomic particles such as protons, electrons, neutrons, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cosmic radiation | <radiobiology> High-energy radiation or particles from extraterrestrial space that strike the earth, its atmosphere, or spacecraft and may create secondary radiation as a result of collisions with the atmosphere or spacecraft. (12 Dec 1998) |
| primary radiation | An incident X-ray beam. (05 Mar 2000) |
| scattered radiation | Secondary radiation emitted from the interaction of X-rays with matter; generally lower in energy, with a directional distribution which depends on the energy of the incident radiation. Synonym: secondary radiation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| scattering, radiation | The process in which energy is removed from a beam of light or other electromagnetic radiation and emitted without appreciable change in wavelength. May be considered as the change in direction of a particle or photon owing to a collision with another particle or system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| heterogeneous radiation | Radiation consisting of different frequencies, various energies, or a variety of particles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| x-radiation | Radiant energy from an X-ray tube. See: X-ray. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary radiation | Secondary radiation emitted from the interaction of X-rays with matter; generally lower in energy, with a directional distribution which depends on the energy of the incident radiation. Synonym: secondary radiation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| homogeneous radiation | Radiation consisting of a narrow band of frequencies, the same energy, or a single type of particle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pyramidal radiation | Corticospinal fibres passing from the cortex into the pyramid. Synonym: radiatio pyramidalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neutron radiation | An emission of neutrons from the nucleus of an atom by decay or fission. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synchrotron radiation | <physics> Electromagnetic energy radiated from a charged particle moving in a curved orbit (typically in a magnetic field), due to the acceleration required to change the direction of the particle's velocity. See: bremsstrahlung. Synonym: cyclotron radiation. (13 Jan 1998) |
| dose-response relationship, radiation | The relationship between the dose of administered radiation and the response of the organism or tissue to the radiation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infrared radiation | Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 750 nanometres and 1,000,000 nanometres (or 1 millimetre). This is more commonly known as heat energy. (09 Oct 1997) |
