  2. Biophysical profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophysical_profile

    A biophysical profile (BPP) is a prenatal ultrasound evaluation of fetal well-being involving a scoring system, [1] with the score being termed Manning's score. [2] It is often done when a non-stress test (NST) is non reactive, or for other obstetrical indications.

  3. Intraocular lens power calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraocular_lens_power...

    In A-scan ultrasound biometry, a crystal oscillates to generate a high-frequency sound wave that penetrates into the eye. When the sound wave encounters a media interface, part of the sound wave is reflected back toward the probe. These echoes allow us to calculate the distance between the probe and various structures in the eye.

  4. Effective temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_temperature

    The effective temperature of the Sun (5778 kelvins) is the temperature a black body of the same size must have to yield the same total emissive power.. The effective temperature of a star is the temperature of a black body with the same luminosity per surface area (F Bol) as the star and is defined according to the Stefan–Boltzmann law F Bol = σT eff 4.

  5. A-scan ultrasound biometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-scan_ultrasound_biometry

    A-scan ultrasound biometry, commonly referred to as an A-scan (short for Amplitude scan), uses an ultrasound instrument for diagnostic testing. [1] A-scan biometry measures the axial length (AL) of the eye prior to cataract surgery in order to assess the refractive power of the intraocular lens that will be implanted.

  6. Biostatistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biostatistics

    Biostatistics (also known as biometry) is a branch of statistics that applies statistical methods to a wide range of topics in biology. It encompasses the design of biological experiments , the collection and analysis of data from those experiments and the interpretation of the results.

  7. Crown-rump length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown-rump_length

    An ultrasound showing an embryo measured to have a crown-rump length of 1.67 cm and estimated to have a gestational age of 8 weeks and 1 day. Crown-rump length (CRL) is the measurement of the length of human embryos and fetuses from the top of the head (crown) to the bottom of the buttocks (rump).

  8. Biometrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometrics

    The Face system uses class-based scatter matrices to calculate features for recognition, and the Palm Vein acts as an unbreakable cryptographic key, ensuring only the correct user can access the system. The cancelable Biometrics concept allows biometric traits to be altered slightly to ensure privacy and avoid theft.

  9. View factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/View_factor

    Intensity of thermal radiation from the sun depends on view factor. In radiative heat transfer, a view factor, , is the proportion of the radiation which leaves surface that strikes surface .
