  • Moving bucky

    A grid that moves in a reciprocating or synchronized manner during the exposure duration.  

  • Monocular stereoscope

    A compact and lightweight handheld stereoscopic unit, designed for portability and ease of use.  

  • Monochromatic radiation

    Electromagnetic radiation characterized by a singular wavelength, where all photons possess identical energy, is referred to as monochromatic radiation.  

  • Mobile intensifier

    An amalgamated system comprising an x-ray generator, x-ray tube, and image intensifier forms a self-contained unit that can be conveniently transported and positioned at various locations.  

  • M line

    One of the distinctive spectral lines emitted by an atom arises from the excitation of electrons within the M shell.  

  • Minimum exposure, radiography and fluoroscopy

    In order to mitigate the potential risks associated with radiation exposure, it is imperative to adhere to the following guidelines: employ optimal collimation techniques, utilize 3mm aluminum filters for effective filtration, employ high-speed intensifying screens, provide adequate lead shielding to protect the gonads, adhere to the recommended kilovoltage settings, and ensure the presence of a…

  • Milliampere-seconds

    The product of the duration of an x-ray exposure in seconds and the milliamperage (mA) employed represents an important factor. This factor, known as mA·s (milliampere-seconds), determines the quantity or amount of radiation generated during the exposure. It serves as a crucial parameter in assessing and controlling the radiation dosage delivered in an x-ray procedure.…

  • Meter-kilogram-second

    The metric system is a measurement system that encompasses units such as the meter for length, the kilogram for mass, and the second for time. It provides a standardized approach to quantify and compare physical quantities in a consistent manner. By employing these fundamental units, the metric system facilitates accurate and precise measurements across various…

  • Metallic silver

    The measure of compactness observed in a completed radiograph is commonly denoted as metallic silver.  

  • M electron

    An electron that resides within the M shell, which is the third electron shell encircling the atomic nucleus when counted from the nucleus outward.
