| angiography, digital subtraction | A method of delineating blood vessels by subtracting a tissue background image from an image of tissue plus intravascular contrast material that attenuates the X-ray photons. The background image is determined from a digitised image taken a few moments before injection of the contrast material. The resulting angiogram is a high-contrast image of the vessel. This subtraction technique allows extraction of a high-intensity signal from the superimposed background information. The image is thus the result of the differential absorption of X-rays by different tissues. (12 Dec 1998) |

| subtraction | 1. The act or operation of subtracting or taking away a part. 2. <mathematics> The taking of a lesser number or quantity from a greater of the same kind or denomination; an operation for finding the difference between two numbers or quantities. 3. The withdrawing or withholding from a person of some right to which he is entitled by law. Thus the subtraction of conjugal rights is when either the husband or wife withdraws from the other and lives separate without sufficient reason. The subtraction of a legacy is the withholding or detailing of it from the legatee by the executor. In like manner, the withholding of any service, rent, duty, or custom, is a subtraction, for which the law gives a remedy. Origin: L. Subtractio a drawing back. See Subtract, and cf. Substraction.

| subtraction technique | Combination or superimposition of two images for demonstrating differences between them (e.g., radiograph with contrast vs. One without, radionuclide images using different radionuclides, radiograph vs. Radionuclide image) and in the preparation of audiovisual materials (e.g., offsetting identical images, colouring of vessels in angiograms). (12 Dec 1998) |
| digital subtraction angiography | Computer-assisted roentgenographic angiography permitting visualization of vascular structures without superimposed bone and soft tissue density; images made before and after contrast injection allow subtraction (separation and removal) of opacities not enhanced by the contrast medium. Other image-processing can be performed. Contrast material may be injected intravenously or in lower-than-usual amount intra-arterially. (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) |
| 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) |
| 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.

| Parallel Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy | <technique> Electron energy loss spectroscopy analyses the inelastically scattered electrons present in the beam after it has been transmitted through the sample. An electron energy loss spectrum typically consists of a monatomic decreasing background on which are superimposed a number of peaks. Each peak is characteristic of the scattering process that has occurred in the sample. The peaks can be used to obtain information about the chemical composition and electronic structure of the sample. Electron energy loss spectra are acquired typically in a magnetic sector spectrometer located under the camera chamber of the transmission electron microscope. Spatial resolution is typically limited by the minimum probe diameter of the microscope. Electron energy loss spectroscopy tends to be complimentary to EDS in that it can be used to analyse very thin samples of low Z materials. Acronym: PEELS (05 Aug 1998) |
| geothermal energy | Energy derived from the natural heat of the Earth contained in hot rocks, hot water, hot brines or steam. (05 Dec 1998) |
