  • Sweet’s eye

    A radiographic technique employed to pinpoint the precise location of an obstructing foreign object within the eye, utilizing a specialized device called a Keleket eye localizer.  

  • Supply voltage

    The voltage derived from a power source to facilitate the functioning of an electrical circuit.  

  • Superficial therapy

    In the domain of radiation therapy, there exists a specific term denoting a treatment strategy meticulously crafted to optimize the impact on the skin while simultaneously safeguarding the underlying tissues from undue effects.  

  • Streaky films

    This condition commonly arises from the neglect of properly agitating the films during the development or fixation process.  

  • Stray radiation

    Extraneous radiation, encompassing both leakage and scatter radiation, which does not serve any beneficial purpose.  

  • Stop bath

    A mixture comprising water and acetic acid, employed as an intermediary solution between the developer and the fixer in order to halt the film development process.  

  • Stereoscopic examination

    A radiographic examination that yields a visual representation in three dimensions, providing a comprehensive view of the anatomical structure under scrutiny.  

  • Stem radiation

    X-rays emitted from areas of the anode apart from the designated target region within an X-ray tube.  

  • Stator

    Within an induction motor, there exists a component referred to as the stator. The stator encompasses the stationary elements of the magnetic circuit, as well as their corresponding windings. It forms an integral part of the motor’s construction, playing a crucial role in facilitating its operation.  

  • Stationary grid

    A notable variation within the realm of X-ray systems is the stationary grid, characterized by its immobility during the exposure process. In the year 1913, Gustave Bucky introduced the pioneering concept of a stationary grid—an innovative rectangular device, slender and level, possessing dimensions comparable to those of the film. This device was positioned between the…
