CT scan
The generation of a CT image necessitates a specific mechanical motion. In numerous machines, a single scan has the capability to yield two distinct images.
-
Scan converter
A device is utilized to enable the presentation of an image, encoded into an electrical signal, on a television monitor.
-
Scan -a-screen
An ultraviolet scanning device is employed to identify the existence of dust, dirt, and imperfections on intensifying screens.

Saturation point
The threshold is reached when an increase in one quantity fails to yield any additional increase in another quantity.

Tube saturation
An X-ray tube operates under saturation conditions, wherein all electrons emitted from the filament are utilized during the exposure process. In contrast, a valve tube functions below saturation, specifically at a voltage of 3 kilovolts (3 kV), resulting in the emission of electrons from the valve tube’s filament that are not fully employed during its…

Saturation current
As the applied voltage to a device escalates, it leads to the attainment of the highest achievable current, known as the maximum current limit.

Rotating-anode tube
In the realm of X-ray technology, there exists a specialized apparatus known as a rotating anode X-ray tube. Unlike its stationary counterparts, this particular tube showcases a constantly revolving anode during the exposure process. This continuous rotation serves a vital purpose as it ensures a fresh surface area for electrons to impact, thereby enabling enhanced…

Rotor
The component of an induction motor that undergoes rotation during its functioning is comprised of copper bars strategically positioned around a cylindrical core made of soft iron. Due to its visual resemblance, it is occasionally referred to as a “squirrel cage motor.”
