  2. Schuller's view - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schuller's_view

    Schuller's view is a lateral radiographic view of skull principally used for viewing mastoid cells. [1] The central beam of X-rays passes from one side of the head and is at an angle of 25° caudad to the radiographic plate. This angulation prevents overlap of images of the two mastoid bones. The radiograph for each mastoid is taken separately ...

  3. Waters' view - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waters'_view

    Waters' view. Waters' view (also known as the occipitomental view or parietoacanthial projection) is a radiographic view of the skull. It is commonly used to get a better view of the maxillary sinuses. An x-ray beam is angled at 45° to the orbitomeatal line. The rays pass from behind the head and are perpendicular to the radiographic plate.

  4. Superior mesenteric vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_mesenteric_vein

    In human anatomy, the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) is a blood vessel that drains blood from the small intestine (jejunum and ileum). Behind the neck of the pancreas, the superior mesenteric vein combines with the splenic vein to form the portal vein that carries blood to the liver. The superior mesenteric vein lies to the right of the ...

  5. Tomographic reconstruction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomographic_reconstruction

    Tomographic reconstruction is a type of multidimensional inverse problem where the challenge is to yield an estimate of a specific system from a finite number of projections. The mathematical basis for tomographic imaging was laid down by Johann Radon. A notable example of applications is the reconstruction of computed tomography (CT) where ...

  6. Projectional radiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectional_radiography

    Projectional radiography, also known as conventional radiography, [1] is a form of radiography and medical imaging that produces two-dimensional images by X-ray radiation. The image acquisition is generally performed by radiographers, and the images are often examined by radiologists. Both the procedure and any resultant images are often simply ...

  7. Chest radiograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chest_radiograph

    A normal posteroanterior (PA) chest radiograph of someone without any signs of injury. Dx and Sin stand for "right" and "left" respectively. A chest radiograph, chest X-ray (CXR), or chest film is a projection radiograph of the chest used to diagnose conditions affecting the chest, its contents, and nearby structures.

  8. Maximum intensity projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_intensity_projection

    Maximum intensity projection. - Volume rendering by high and low threshold for radiodensity. In scientific visualization, a maximum intensity projection (MIP) is a method for 3D data that projects in the visualization plane the voxels with maximum intensity that fall in the way of parallel rays traced from the viewpoint to the plane of projection.

  9. Tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomography

    Tomography is imaging by sections or sectioning that uses any kind of penetrating wave. The method is used in radiology, archaeology, biology, atmospheric science, geophysics, oceanography, plasma physics, materials science, cosmochemistry, astrophysics, quantum information, and other areas of science. The word tomography is derived from ...
