    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereology

    Stereology is the three-dimensional interpretation of two-dimensional cross sections of materials or tissues. It provides practical techniques for extracting quantitative information about a three-dimensional material from measurements made on two-dimensional planar sections of the material.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadaver

    Corpses of Parisian Communards. A cadaver, often known as a corpse, is a dead human body.Cadavers are used by medical students, physicians and other scientists to study anatomy, identify disease sites, determine causes of death, and provide tissue to repair a defect in a living human being.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_specimen

    A laboratory specimen is sometimes a biological specimen of a medical patient's tissue, fluids, or other samples used for laboratory analysis to assist in differential diagnosis or staging of a disease process. These specimens are often the most reliable method of diagnosis, depending on the ailment.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_blood_gas_test

    An arterial blood gas (ABG) test, or arterial blood gas analysis (ABGA) measures the amounts of arterial gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide.An ABG test requires that a small volume of blood be drawn from the radial artery with a syringe and a thin needle, [1] but sometimes the femoral artery in the groin or another site is used.

  6. Corpse decomposition - Wikipedia

    A fresh pig carcass. At this stage the remains are usually intact and free of insects. The corpse progresses through algor mortis (a reduction in body temperature until ambient temperature is reached), rigor mortis (the temporary stiffening of the limbs due to chemical changes in the muscles), and livor mortis (pooling of the blood on the side of the body that is closest to the ground).

  8. CT pulmonary angiogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT_pulmonary_angiogram

    Any mass filling defects (embolus or other matter such as fat) appears darker. Ideally, the scan should be complete before the contrast reaches the left side of the heart and the aorta , as this may mean contrast has drained from the pulmonary arteries, or require a larger dose of contrast media.

  9. Brain morphometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_morphometry

    This allows researchers to quantify anatomical features of the brain in terms of shape, mass, volume (e.g. of the hippocampus, or of the primary versus secondary visual cortex), and to derive more specific information, such as the encephalization quotient, grey matter density and white matter connectivity, gyrification, cortical thickness, or ...
