Medical imaging is growing at an explosive pace, revolutionizing the way physicians peer inside the human body and allowing them to diagnose disease earlier, better, and faster. Instead of 2D x-ray films hanging on light boxes, today's radiologists often view computer displays of 3D digital images, including those from CT [computed axial tomography], magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), and positron emission tomography(PET) scans. Using these 3D visualizations, radiologists can appreciate important information not otherwise apparent, such as the irregular shape or spiculated margin of a tumor or its precise spatial relationship to anatomic structures.  4, record 2, English, - medical%20imaging

A confocal laser scanning microscope is a light microscope having a dramatically higher axial resolution than a conventional microscope. In other words, a confocal microscope is capable of optical sectioning. This is accomplished by illuminating the specimen one point at a time with a focused laser beam and using an optical arrangement, where only the light originating from the focus can be detected. The image is formed by scanning the laser beam over the specimen and recording the image into computer memory. A three-dimensional view of the specimen can be reconstructed from a stack of such images taken at successive focal planes.  2, record 3, English, - axial%20resolution

Comme son nom l'indique, l'incidence axiale est telle que le faisceau de rayons X est perpendiculaire au plan OM ou orbito-méatal [...] Le patient doit mettre la tête en hyperextension (penchée au maximum en arrière), de façon que le faisceau de RX [rayon X] pénètre sous le menton et ressorte par le sommet du crâne. L'incidence axiale ou de Hirtz permet une bonne visualisation de la base du crâne mais aussi des sinus sphénoïdaux et ethmoïdaux, de l'atlas (première vertèbre cervicale).  4, record 4, French, - projection%20axiale

An axial view of the patella, with the patient prone, the knee flexed as much as possible, and the central ray directed through the joint space between the patella and the femoral condyles. It is used to demonstrate vertical fractures of the patella, and to investigate the articulating surfaces of the femoropatellar articulation. The patient may also be placed in the supine position.

There has been, of late, a surge of interest in methods of processing transverse axial tomography data. The alternative method of sectioning provided by longitudinal tomography may, in practice be more appropriate in visualising "long" or "flat" organs such as the lungs, skeleton, thyroid, spleen and kidneys where an A-P type of view is more recognisable. Instrumentation used for longitudinal tomography includes the tomoscanner type of device developed by ANGER(1968) which provides details of a number of planes simultaneously and the conventional scanners using a large solid angle highly focussed collimator(...)  2, record 6, English, - longitudinal%20tomography
