  2. CT scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT_scan

    The radiation doses received from CT scans is variable. Compared to the lowest dose X-ray techniques, CT scans can have 100 to 1,000 times higher dose than conventional X-rays. [149] However, a lumbar spine X-ray has a similar dose as a head CT. [150]

    [203] [204] [144] Alternatively, the x-ray shielding may instead be built into the clip. [205] The flyback transformer is also known as an IHVT (Integrated High Voltage Transformer) if it includes a voltage multiplier. The flyback uses a ceramic or powdered iron core to enable efficient operation at high frequencies.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation

    With a few exceptions related to high-energy photons (such as fluorescence, harmonic generation, photochemical reactions, the photovoltaic effect for ionizing radiations at far ultraviolet, X-ray and gamma radiation), absorbed electromagnetic radiation simply deposits its energy by heating the material. This happens for infrared, microwave and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_informatics

    An example of how the 2D Fourier transform can be used to remove unwanted information from an X-ray scan. The Faculty of Clinical Informatics has identified six high level domains of core competency for clinical informaticians: [7] Health and Wellbeing in Practice; Information Technologies and Systems; Working with Data and Analytical Methods

  7. Holography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holography

    Two photographs of a single hologram taken from different viewpoints. Holography is a technique that enables a wavefront to be recorded and later reconstructed. It is best known as a method of generating three-dimensional images, and has a wide range of other uses, including data storage, microscopy, and interferometry.

  8. Black hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole

    A Chandra X-Ray Observatory image of Cygnus X-1, which was the first strong black hole candidate discovered. X-ray binaries are binary star systems that emit a majority of their radiation in the X-ray part of the spectrum. These X-ray emissions are generally thought to result when one of the stars (compact object) accretes matter from another ...
