Modulate
To govern or adjust a particular process through the application of an external influence or signal is known as modulation. In the context of a television system, modulation involves modifying the intensity of the kinescope by modulating the electron beam with the signal received from the television camera.

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.

CT mean deviation
The mean deviation, which represents the average or arithmetic mean of the absolute differences from a fixed value, disregards the signs of the deviations. In the context of a specified material, the mean deviation is expressed as CT number(s) relative to a standard or fixed value, known as the CT number of the reference material.…

Maze
An interconnected dual-door system is employed to ensure a secure and convenient entry into the darkroom. When one door is opened, the other door remains locked until the first door is closed, and vice versa.
