Planar


Definition:

Example Sentences:

  • (1) By means of rapid planar Hill type antimony-bismuth thermophiles the initial heat liberated by papillary muscles was measured synchronously with developed tension for control (C), pressure-overload (GOP), and hypothyrotic (PTU) rat myocardium (chronic experiments) and after application of 10(-6) M isoproterenol or 200 10(-6) M UDCG-115.
  • (2) This is due to the fact that the SPECT images contain more anatomical and physiological information than similar planar images.
  • (3) The planar 7H-pyridocarbazole cations form stacks approximately parallel to b. Interactions between stacks occur by weak van der Waals forces.
  • (4) The permeability properties of planar lipid bilayers made from egg lecithin, n-decane and a long-chain secondary amine (n-lauryl [trialkylmethyl]amine) are described.

  • (7) Qualitative planar 201-thallium (201Tl) scans, coronary angiography, or both were also performed (median between studies 11 days).
  • (8) In addition to improved image quality, the characteristics of 99mTc sestamibi allow gated planar or SPECT perfusion images to be obtained.
