Accelerated Critical Neural Pathway Formation
Medical procedure that uses genetic recoding to alter the brain of a humanoid
patient.
This procedure is banned in the Federation and has been illegal under laws
dating back to the end of the Eugenics Wars.
Amniotic Scan
Sensor readings of the fluid contained within the amniotic sac of a mammalian
pregnancy. Such a scan can provide a wealth of information about the fetus,
including its sex.
ARA Scan (Autonomic Response Analysis)
medical scan that can be used to determine the truthfulness of a humanoid
subject.
Basilar Arterial Scan
medical diagnostic test that evaluates the arteries in the brainstem.
Berylite scan
medical procedure used aboard Federation starships
Bicaridine treatment
Regenerative therapy for fracture patients. It is used as a substitute in
patients that are allergic to metorapan
Biomimetic Fluctuation
medical reading in Founders that are indicative of dangerous instability of the
morphogenic matrix.
Blood Screening
medical test used by Federation personnel to identify shape-shifters. This was
considered necessary because of the possibility that shape-shifting Founders had
taken humanoid form and infiltrated the Federation and other Alpha Quadrant
powers.
The test involves removing a small sample of blood from an individual's body. If
the individual is a changeling, the blood would revert to a gelatinous orange
fluid.
Brain circuitry pattern
medical diagnostic image mapping neural activity in a humanoid brain. The BCP of
each individual is unique, and this serves as a positive means of identification.
Cardiac replacement
Surgical procedure in which a patient's diseased or injured heart is replaced by
an artificial device. The technique was developed by Dr. Van Doren
Cardiac Induction
Emergency medical resuscitative measure.
CPK levels
A medical test performed on board Federation starships. CPK, or creatinine
phosphokinase, is a marker of muscular damage. It is mostly used to diagnose
cardiac damage.
Cryogenic Open Heart Procedure
Surgical procedure
Cryonics
Old practice of cryogenically freezing a human just after death in the hopes
that future medical advances would render their sickness curable.
Cryostasis
medical procedure used to slow down biological functions in a critically injured
patient, allowing the physician more time to correct the malady.
medical test to confirm an individual's identity by matching DNA patterns.
Direct reticular stimulation
medical procedure in which electrical energy is applied directly to the nervous
system of a humanoid patient in an attempt to revive neural activity. A device
called a neural stimulator is used in this procedure
DNA reference scan
medical test to confirm an individual's identity by matching DNA patterns.
Dolbargy Sleeping Trance
Voluntarily induced deep coma.
Electrophoretic Energy Analysis
Electrophoresis is a process by which proteins are identified by putting them on
a gel and running an electric current through the gel, then staining the gel and
measuring how far the proteins moved in comparison to a group of standard
proteins that were also put on the gel (bigger proteins move slower, in
general.)
Encephalographic polygraph scan
A brainwave scan used to determine truthfulness during questioning
Hyperencephalogram
medical test that records and measures brain wave activity.
Inner Nuncial Series
A battery of neurological tests.
Metorapan treatments
Regenerative treatment for fracture patients.
Myocardial Enzyme Balance
Medical test used in surgical, particularly cardiac procedures.
Neural Imaging Scan
medical diagnostic scan used to test the acuity of the patient's visual cortex.
Neurolink
Emergency medical technique used for the stabilization of patients with
brainstem injuries. Matching neural pads were used. One would be placed on a
healthy individual and a matching unit on the patient. These devices enabled a
link to be established from the healthy person's autonomic nervous system to
that of the injured patient.
Neurosomatic Technique
Procedure used on the planet Tilonus IV in an attempt to extract strategic
information.
Reflection Therapy
Psychiatric technique used on the planet Tilonus IV in which the patient's brain
is scanned and images from brain areas that control emotions and memory are
projected holographically. The patient then interacts with holographic images
which represent various facets of his personality.
Resonance Tissue Scan
medical diagnostic test used by Starfleet physicians to screen for infection.
Retinal Imaging Scan
medical test used to verify the presence or absence of activity in the visual
cortex.
Ribosome Infusion
medical procedure to help the exposure of certain radiation.
Robbiani Dermal Optic Test
medical diagnostic test that registers a subject's emotional structure through
skin and pupil response to visual stimulation at specific color wavelengths.
Steinman Analysis
medical test noting individual specific data such as voice analysis and brain
patterns.
Synaptic Induction
Technique in neurotheraphy used for patients suffering from traumatic memory
loss.
Synaptic Reconstruction
Surgery which neutralizes the synaptic pathways responsible for deviant behavior
