A technique that uses the concept of thresholding to limit the displayed volumetric data. The threshold allows the user to select the range of pixel values rendered in the 3D model. For example, a higher bone threshold... can be chosen to build a skeletal model of the patient's skull. Decreasing the threshold to include voxels with soft tissue attenuation values results in a 3D model with the patient's skin intact. 2, record 1, English, - surface%20rendering

Energy spectroscopy. For energy analysis the output current pulse from a PMT [photomultiplier tube] or from a semiconductor detector is often applied to a charge-sensitive preamplifier. The preamplifier produces a voltage pulse with a peak amplitude that is proportional to the total charge in the current pulse, which is proportional to the energy absorbed from the incident radiation. Amplifiers and filters are used to expand the range of the peak amplitude and to shape the signal from the preamplifier, a process that maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio for the system. For energy analysis the peak amplitude of the shaped pulse represents the information of interest. Discriminators and single-channel analyzers(SCA) can be used, following the signal shaping system, to determine the presence of certain energies of detected radiation. A discriminator produces an output logic pulse if it's input signal exceeds a preset threshold level. An SCA produces an output logic pulse if the peak amplitude of it's input signal falls within the energy window that is established with two preset threshold levels. 1, record 4, English, - energy%20spectroscopy

The insulation monitoring devices of the Vigilohm range are designed to : measure the insulation level of the installation; indicate drops in the insulation level below a user-defined threshold. In addition to these basic functions, the Vigilohm System can automatically locate the faulty circuit.... Insulation monitoring devices inject a DC or low-frequency AC voltage between the installation and earth. The insulation resistance is determined by measuring the resulting leakage current. Vigilohm EM9 devices use an indicator light to signal the presence of an insulation fault within the installation. 1, record 5, English, - Vigilohm%20insulation%20monitoring%20device
