  • (17) Hence the laser beam acts as a fixation target and measuring beam.
  • (18) Electron beam therapy is usually employed for the treatment of tumours located at or near the surface of the body, because the electron beam gives a high dose near the surface, but falls off rapidly with increasing depth beyond the level of the 80% depth dose.
  • (19) By embedding the biopsy in the acrylic resin LR White, unsupported sections of which are stable in the electron beam, light and electron microscopy and immunocytochemistry become feasible on sections from the same block.
  • (20) Real 60Co beams contain lower energy components; in addition, Awall is defined differently by different authors.

Reaming


Definition:

  • (p. pr. & vb. n.) of Ream

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The commonly used line-to-line reaming technique was compared to an underreaming technique using both four-fifths and one-third porous-coated anatomic medullary locking (AML) implants.
  • (2) The disturbance without reaming was limited to the inner layer of the cortex and involved only one-third of the cortical cross-section.
  • (3) Median strain values of reamed only and polyacetal-nailed femora ranged from 67 to 90 percent of the intact side.
  • (4) In 10 dogs, closed intramedullary nailing with reaming was performed while compartment pressures were measured.
  • (5) Errors in surgical judgment were attributed to inadequate preoperative analysis of the pattern of the fracture; undetected intraoperative comminution during reaming or insertion of the nail, or both; or postoperative failure to recognize an increase in comminution and instability of the fracture.
