  2. Photometry (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photometry_(optics)

    Luminous intensity (photometric) and radiant intensity (radiometric) In photometric quantities every wavelength is weighted according to how sensitive the human eye is to it, while radiometric quantities use unweighted absolute power. For example, the eye responds much more strongly to green light than to red, so a green source will have ...

  3. Radiometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiometry

    Comparison of photometric and radiometric quantities. Radiometry is a set of techniques for measuring electromagnetic radiation, including visible light.Radiometric techniques in optics characterize the distribution of the radiation's power in space, as opposed to photometric techniques, which characterize the light's interaction with the human eye.

    For example, in the Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc Cave (circa 30,000 BC), at least 13 different species have been identified. [2] In one prehistoric cave (circa 15,000 BC), there is a drawing of a mammoth with a darkened area where the heart should be. If this is indeed the intention of the illustration, it would be the world's first anatomical ...

  6. Anatomy of the human heart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy_of_the_human_heart

    The heart is a muscular organ situated in the mediastinum.It consists of four chambers, four valves, two main arteries (the coronary arteries), and the conduction system. The left and right sides of the heart have different functions: the right side receives de-oxygenated blood through the superior and inferior venae cavae and pumps blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery, and the left ...

  7. Medical illustration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_illustration

    Medical illustrations have been made possibly since the beginning of medicine [1] in any case for hundreds (or thousands) of years. Many illuminated manuscripts and Arabic scholarly treatises of the medieval period contained illustrations representing various anatomical systems (circulatory, nervous, urogenital), pathologies, or treatment methodologies.

  8. Medical imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_imaging

    Echocardiography uses 2D, 3D, and Doppler imaging to create pictures of the heart and visualize the blood flowing through each of the four heart valves. Echocardiography is widely used in an array of patients ranging from those experiencing symptoms, such as shortness of breath or chest pain, to those undergoing cancer treatments.

  9. Photometric system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photometric_system

    The sensitivity usually depends on the optical system, detectors and filters used. For each photometric system a set of primary standard stars is provided. A commonly adopted standardized photometric system is the Johnson-Morgan or UBV photometric system (1953). At present, there are more than 200 photometric systems. [citation needed]
