Alphabetical list of terms

Record 1 2018-12-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radiotherapy
  • Cancers and Oncology
CONT

Total body irradiation(TBI) gives radiation therapy to the entire body. TBI may be used to prepare for a stem cell transplant. A linear accelerator is usually used to give TBI.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radiothérapie
  • Cancers et oncologie
CONT

L'irradiation corporelle totale (ICT) est une radiothérapie administrée au corps entier. On peut y avoir recours lors de la préparation à une greffe de cellules souches. On utilise habituellement un accélérateur linéaire pour l'administrer.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Measuring Instruments (Engineering)
  • Radiological Physics (Theory and Application)
DEF

An assembly which measures the total gamma radiation, including Bremsstrahlung, emitted by the body and uses one or several scintillation detectors heavily shielded against ionising ambient radiation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments de mesure (Ingénierie)
  • Physique radiologique et applications

Spanish

Record 4 2005-05-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics
  • Space Physics
CONT

In radiation heat transfer, the transmitter... for a body is defined as the ratio of the incident radiant energy transmitted through the body to the total radiant energy falling upon the body.

OBS

The body may be transparent to the incident radiation energy ..., or else it may be opaque and therefore inhibit or prevent the transmission of incident radiation energy.

OBS

transmittance: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique de l'atmosphère
  • Physique spatiale
DEF

Rapport entre l'énergie transmise ou réfractée et l'énergie incidente [...].

OBS

transmittance : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de RADARSAT-2 (GTTR).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Física de la atmósfera
  • Física espacial
DEF

Relación entre la radiación transmitida en un medio y la radiación que incide sobre el mismo.

Record 5 2004-02-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electromagnetic Radiation
CONT

The total emissive power... is the total thermal radiation energy emitted by a surface element into the entire volume above the surface per unit time per unit area(emissive power, radiant flux density).... In the study of real surfaces it is convenient to define an ideal surface. The ideal surface is called a black surface or a black body, where all energy incident upon the body is absorbed, regardless of direction, wavelength or any often identifiable energy characteristic. Since, all energy is absorbed a=1, r=0, t=0. A perfect absorber is also a perfect emitter. So, the emissive power of a black body is only a function of temperature.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Rayonnements électromagnétiques
CONT

L'émittance totale ou pouvoir émissif total est la densité de flux émise dans toutes les directions de l'espace, qui dépend généralement de la température de ce corps. [...] L'émittance totale d'un corps quelconque peut toujours être comparée à celle d'un corps noir ayant la même température [...]
