Soft-tissue film
An expression employed to denote an x-ray procedure conducted using moderately low electrical potential to achieve the most advantageous differentiation of soft-tissue formations during the evaluation process.
-
Soft iron
Due to its notable attributes of high permeability and low retentivity, it finds application in the production of cores utilized in magnetic electrical devices.
-
Sodium sulfite
The developer serves to shield the hydroquinone and metol, which act as the developing agents, from undergoing oxidation. Within the fixer, its role is to safeguard the sodium thiosulfate, the fixing agent, against decomposition while aiding in the purification of the film.
-
Slip rings
At the termination of the generator’s armature, there is a conducting ring affixed. This ring serves as a platform for transferring current. The current departs from the generator and travels through the slip rings to the external circuit.
-
Six -pulse three-phase generator
This generator system utilizes six solid-state rectifiers operating with three sine waves, resulting in a six-pulse ripple.
-
Siremat
The Siemens fully automated universal system designed for diagnostic tasks, incorporating the magazine technique and an integrated processing machine.
-
Siregraph 2
The Siemens remote-controlled and table-side-controlled universal radiographic and fluoroscopic unit featuring an overhead x-ray tube.
-
Single- pole double-throw
A switch or relay contact configuration with three terminals that enables the connection of one terminal to either of the other two terminals.
-
Single-phase generator
An electrical generator that generates a current commonly referred to as a sine wave. The armature of this generator rotates within a robust electromagnetic field at a frequency of 60 rotations per second, resulting in the production of a 60-cycle current.
-
Sine wave
A waveform that exhibits varying amplitude from moment to moment due to changes in the orientation of the magnetic field plane. This sinusoidal wave comprises frequencies and wavelengths. A single cycle corresponds to a complete rotation of the armature, which encompasses two impulses or alternations. The widely utilized form of alternating current is the 60-cycle…
