| absorptiometry, photon | A noninvasive method for quantitating bone mineral content. It is used especially in the diagnosis of osteoporosis and also in measuring bone mineralization in infants. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| photon | <physics> A quantum unit of light energy. (09 Oct 1997) |
| photon density | The number of counted events recorded in scintigraphy per square centimeter or per square inch of imaged area. Synonym: count density. (05 Mar 2000) |
| single photon emission computed tomography | <radiology> Tomographic imaging of metabolic and physiological functions in tissues, the image being formed by computer synthesis of photons of a single energy emitted by radionuclides administered in suitable form to the patient. The method uses radionuclides which emit a single photon of a given energy. The camera is then rotated 180 or 360 degrees around the patient to capture images at multiple positions along the arc. The computer then reconstructs the transaxial, sagittal, and coronal images from the 3-dimensional distribution of radionuclides in the target area scanned. The advantages of SPECT are that it can be used to observe biochemical and physiological processes as well as the size and volume of the organ. The disadvantage is that, unlike positron emission tomography where the positron-electron annihilation results in the emission of 2 photons at 180 degrees from each other, SPECT requires physical collimation to line up the photons, which results in the loss of available photons and hence degrades the image. Acronym: SPECT (20 Jun 2000) |
| 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) |
| dual photon absorptiometry |
measurement of the bone mineral content in the axial skeleton, particularly the lumbar spine, by comparing the transmission of the two separate photoelectric energy peaks emitted by gadolinium 153 through both soft and bone tissues.
