Gel chromatography is an analytic method to separate chemical substances.

An electromagnetic lens is designed to focus the electron beam by using a suitable shaped magnetic field. The lens is a symmetric electromagnet consisting of wire coil, magnetic iron yoke and iron pole pieces. A strong magnetic field is produced by passing a current through the windings. This field acts as a convex lens; converge off axis rays back to focus. Like an optical lens, a magnetic lens is characterized by focal length and can be altered by changing the strength of the current.

(ARS) The acute radiation syndrome is a form of radiation sickness. An acute radiation syndrome can be developed after the exposition to a high radiation dose received in a short period of time (e.g., x-rays or gamma rays). ARS subsyndromes include hematopoietic, cutaneous, gastrointestinal, and neurovascular diseases. The reaction will vary with dose and factors like age, medical co-morbitdity and immunosuppression.

(EMR) Electromagnetic radiation consists of an electric and a magnetic field component. All EMR travels in a vacuum at the speed of light. EMR is classified related to the frequency//length of the wave.
An EM wave consists of discrete packets of energy, named photons (quantization). The energy of the photons depends on the frequency of the wave. Planck-Einstein equation:
E = h * f
E (energy); h (Planck's constant); f (frequency)
EMR types include in order of increasing frequency//decreasing wavelength: radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays and gamma rays. EMR contains energy and momentum, which may be imparted when it interacts with matter.

Contrast media injectors are part of the medical equipment used to deliver fluids in examinations such as CT, MRI, fluoroscopy and angiography. Many of these diagnostic imaging procedures include the administration of intravenous contrast agents to enhance the blood and perfusion in tissues.

Mainly there are two types of injector technology:

The use of x-ray contrast agents in computed tomography (CT) began with a hand injection by the radiologist in the scan room. During its history, CT scanners have made great improvements in speed and image quality. Actual CT systems with multiple detectors allow scan times of a few seconds per body region. Some CT protocols require multiphase scans, where a body region is imaged with a single bolus of contrast in different blood flow phases. Automatic power (pressure) contrast media injectors are required to provide precise control of flow rate, volume and timing of injection. The use of a saline bolus following contrast administration reduces the volume of contrast required.
