For most persons with thoracic trauma the procedure is not necessary only 15 of those with thoracic injury require the procedure.

Wegel, in 1921, was the first to express these equations in terms of mechanical impedance as well as electrical impedance.

Cardio thoracic ratio is the transverse diameter of the heart, as determined by x ray examination, compared with that of the thoracic cage, used to help determine enlargement of the heart.

The element formula_2 is the open circuit mechanical impedance, that is, the impedance presented by the mechanical side of the transducer when no current is entering the electrical side.

The element formula_3, conversely, is the clamped electrical impedance, that is, the impedance presented to the electrical side when the mechanical side is clamped and prevented from moving (velocity is zero).

Children are especially vulnerable, possibly due to the mechanical properties of their thoracic skeleton.

At week 8 it can be found at the level of the thoracic vertebrae.

Another method is bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), which uses the resistance of electrical flow through the body to estimate body fat.

A number of methods are available for determining body fat percentage, such as measurement with calipers or through the use of bioelectrical impedance analysis.

Circuit diagrams produced using this analogy match the electrical impedance of the mechanical system seen by the electrical circuit, making it intuitive from an electrical engineering standpoint.

The great majority of cases occur in the lowest of the lumbar vertebrae (L5), but spondylolysis may also occur in the other lumbar vertebrae, as well as in the thoracic vertebrae.

In contrast with clinical tools, one relatively inexpensive type of body fat meter uses the principle of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in order to determine an individual's body fat percentage.

For the chest, the technique was developed by NASA to measure the split second impedance changes within the chest, as the heart beats, to calculate both cardiac output and lung water content.

From a side view, the cervical (neck) region of the spine (C1 C7) is bent inward, the thoracic (upper back) region (T1 T12) bends outward, and the lumbar (lower back) region (L1 L5) bends inward.

A resuscitative thoracotomy (sometimes referred to as an emergency department thoracotomy) is a thoracotomy typically done in order to resuscitate a person who has been severely injured after sustaining a severe trauma involving the thoracic cavity.

In certain cases, bone may be cut to further access the interior of the body for example, cutting the skull for brain surgery or cutting the sternum for thoracic (chest) surgery to open up the rib cage.

You try and think of a different way of saying the same thing, or if you know the particular student and that student's cognitive style, then you might say it in a way that you think would have a good impedance match with that student.

The reflection coefficient can be calculated using formula_2, where formula_3 is the reflection coefficient (0 denotes full transmission, 1 full reflection, and 0.5 is a reflection of half the incoming voltage), formula_4 and formula_5 are the impedance of the first component (from which the wave enters) and the second component, respectively.
