  2. Planimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planimeter

    The images show the principles of a linear and a polar planimeter. The pointer M at one end of the planimeter follows the contour C of the surface S to be measured. For the linear planimeter the movement of the "elbow" E is restricted to the y-axis. For the polar planimeter the "elbow" is connected to an arm with its other endpoint O at a fixed ...

  3. Planimetrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planimetrics

    To measure planimetrics a planimeter or dot planimeter is used. This rather advanced analog technology is being taken over by simple image measurement software tools like, ImageJ, Adobe Acrobat, Google Earth Pro, Gimp, Photoshop and KLONK Image Measurement which can help do this kind of work from digitalized images.

    A man undergoing whole body plethysmography. A modern body plethysmograph using ultrasound. A plethysmograph is an instrument for measuring changes in volume within an organ or whole body (usually resulting from fluctuations in the amount of blood or air it contains). The word is derived from the Greek "plethysmos" (increasing, enlarging ...

  5. Dot planimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_planimeter

    In forestry, cartography, and geography, the dot planimeter has been applied to maps to estimate the area of parcels of land. [1] [4] [5] [6] In botany and horticulture, it has been applied directly to sampled leaves to estimate the average leaf area. [7] [8] [9] In medicine, it has been applied to Lashley diagrams as an estimate of the size of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_imaging

    The radioactive gamma rays are emitted through the body as the natural decaying process of these isotopes takes place. The emissions of the gamma rays are captured by detectors that surround the body. This essentially means that the human is now the source of the radioactivity, rather than the medical imaging devices such as X-ray or CT.

    In 2000, the photos were rescanned at a higher resolution, yielding more than 65 gigabytes. The female cadaver was cut into slices at 0.33-millimeter intervals, resulting in some 40 gigabytes of data. The term "cut" is a bit of a misnomer, yet it is used to describe the process of grinding away the top surface of a specimen at regular intervals ...
