  2. Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_Cost_and...

    The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP, pronounced "H-Cup") is a family of healthcare databases and related software tools and products from the United States that is developed through a Federal-State-Industry partnership and sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).

  3. Trendelenburg position - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trendelenburg_position

    The Trendelenburg position may be used for drainage images during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. [10] The Trendelenburg position is reasonable in those with a cord prolapse who are unable to achieve a knee-to-chest position. [11] It is a temporary measure until a cesarean section can be performed. [11]

  4. Satellite navigation solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_navigation_solution

    Satellite navigation solution for the receiver's position (geopositioning) involves an algorithm.In essence, a GNSS receiver measures the transmitting time of GNSS signals emitted from four or more GNSS satellites (giving the pseudorange) and these measurements are used to obtain its position (i.e., spatial coordinates) and reception time.

  5. Indoor positioning system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoor_positioning_system

    Many different systems take advantage of existing wireless infrastructure for indoor positioning. There are three primary system topology options for hardware and software configuration, network-based, terminal-based, and terminal-assisted. Positioning accuracy can be increased at the expense of wireless infrastructure equipment and installations.

  6. Hyperbolic navigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_navigation

    The Decca Navigation System was originally developed in the US, but eventually deployed by the Decca Radio company in the UK and commonly referred to as a British system. Initially developed for the Royal Navy as an accurate adjunct to naval versions of Gee, Decca was first used on 5 June 1944 to guide minesweepers in preparation for the D-Day ...

  7. Performance-based navigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance-based_navigation

    For example, moving a single VOR can impact dozens of procedures, as a VOR can be used on routes, VOR approaches, missed approaches, etc. Adding new sensor-specific procedures would compound this cost, and the rapid growth in available navigation systems would soon make sensor-specific routes and procedures unaffordable;

  8. Chest radiograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chest_radiograph

    In anteroposterior (AP) views, the positions of the x-ray source and detector are reversed: the x-ray beam enters through the anterior aspect and exits through the posterior aspect of the chest. AP chest x-rays are harder to read than PA x-rays and are therefore generally reserved for situations where it is difficult for the patient to get an ...

  9. Decca Navigator System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decca_Navigator_System

    The Decca Navigator System was a hyperbolic radio navigation system that allowed ships and aircraft to determine their position by using radio signals from a dedicated system of static radio transmitters. The system used phase comparison between pairs of low frequency signals between 70 and 129 kHz, as opposed to pulse timing systems like Gee ...
