| radiography, dual-energy scanned projection | A method of producing a high-quality scan by digitizing and subtracting the images produced by high- and low-energy X-rays. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| diagnosis, dual (psychiatry) | The coexistence of a substance abuse disorder with a psychiatric disorder. The diagnostic principle is based on the fact that it has been found often that chemically dependent patients also have psychiatric problems of various degrees of severity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dual-cure resin | A resin which utilises both light and chemical initiation to activate polymerization. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dual leucine zipper bearing kinase | <enzyme> A serine/threonine kinase but hybrid between microtubule-associated protein kinase kinase kinases and the fibroblast growth factor receptor family; genbank u14636; do not confuse with the neoplasm protein dlk Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- Synonym: dlk kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| dual personality | A mental disturbance in which a person assumes alternately two different identities without either personality being consciously aware of the other. See: multiple personality. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dual recognition hypothesis | An outmoded hypothesis that is known to be incorrect now that the structure of the T-cell receptor is known. The proposal was that viral (and some chemical) antigens were recognised in association with histocompatibility antigens by separate receptors on the T-cell. The generation of cytotoxic T-cells was by association with Class I MHC antigens, of T helper cells by association with Class II MHC antigens. See: altered self hypothesis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| dual relationships | Relationships in which a health service provider is concurrently participating in two or more role categories with a patient; such dual relationships may be benign (as when both are members of the same social group) or exploitive (a sexual relationship). (05 Mar 2000) |
| activation energy | <chemistry> The amount of energy (expressed in joules) that is needed to convert all the molecules in one mole of a reacting substance from a ground state to the transition state. (06 May 1997) |
| binding energy | <chemistry, radiobiology> The binding energy of a nucleus is the minimum energy required to dissociate it into its component neutrons and protons. Neutron or proton binding energies are those required to remove a neutron or proton, respectively, from a nucleus. Electron binding energy is that required to remove an electron from an atom or a molecule. (16 Dec 1997) |
| bioelectric energy sources | Implantable devices which convert biological energy (chemical energy of the metabolism of continuously regenerating body fluids or mechanical energy of periodic movements) to electrical energy. The sources include biogalvanic cells, biofuel cells, and ionic concentration cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| biomass energy | See Bioenergy. (05 Dec 1998) |
| bond dissociation energy | This is the energy needed to break the bonds between two linked atoms. (09 Oct 1997) |
| bond energy | The energy needed to break a molecular bond. (09 Oct 1997) |
| radiant energy | Energy contained in light rays or any other form of radiation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiotherapy, high-energy | Radiotherapy using high-energy (megavolt or higher) ionizing radiation. Types of radiation include gamma rays, produced by a radioisotope within a teletherapy unit; X-rays, electrons, protons, alpha particles (helium ions) and heavy charged ions, produced by particle acceleration; and neutrons and pi-mesons (pions), produced as secondary particles following bombardment of a target with a primary particle. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dual energy x-ray absorptiometry |
A type of X-ray that is used to measure the mass of bone. May be used to provide evidence of osteoporosis (where there is loss of bone mass).

|
| dual energy x-ray absorptiometry |
A test in which x-rays are used to measure bone density and produce an image of the bone; the preferred means of osteoporosis testing
