Accelerated
Critical Neural Pathway Formation
Medical procedure that uses genetic re-coding
to alter the brain of a humanoid patient. The procedure is illegal under
laws dating back to the end of the Eugenics Wars. The Federation ban on
DNA resequencing was based on the argument that if genetically enhanced
people were allowed to compete freely, all parents would feel pressured
to have their children enhanced so that they could keep up.
Amniotic
Scan
Sensor readings of the fluid contained
within the amniotic sac of a mammalian pregnancy.
ARA
Scan
Medical scan that can be used to determine
the truthfulness of a humanoid subject.
Basilar
Arterial Scan
Medical diagnostic test used to evaluate
arteries in the brainstem.
Berylite
Scan
Medical procedure used aboard Federation
starships.
Bio-temporal
Chamber
Medical device created by the Emergency
Medical Hologram aboard Voyager in 2379. The chamber used a bio-temporal
field to push cells into an earlier stage of entropic decay.
Blood
Screening
Medical test used by Federation personnel
to identify shape-shifters.
Brain-circuitry
Pattern
Medical diagnostic image mapping neural
activity in a humanoid brain.
Cardiac
Induction
Emergency medical resuscitative measure.
Cardiopulmonary
Reconstruction
Medical procedure for repairing the heart
of a humanoid patient.
Cellular
Regeneration and Entertainment Chamber
Experimental medical treatment device
intended to make humanoid patients effectively immortal by keeping their
cells entertained.
CPK
Enzymatic Therapy
Medical treatment to limit the extent
of spinal injury.
Cryogenic
Open-heart Procedure
Surgical procedure used to repair damaged
cardiac tissue using temperatures near absolute zero.
Cryostasis
Medical procedure used to slow down biological
functions in a critically injured patient, allowing the physician more
time to correct the malady.
Decompression
Chamber
Medical treatment facility aboard Federation
starships for patients requiring exposure to atmospheric pressures other
than Class-M normal.
Deep
Tissue Scan
Medical scan done as part of a post mortem
investigation.
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.
DNA
Reference Scan
Medical test to confirm an individual's
identity by matching DNA patterns.
DNA
Resequencing
A procedure in which a subject is genetically
engineered for specific traits. It is illegal except to correct severe
birth defects, but it was going on on Adigeon Prime in 2348. Any individual
discovered to have been so treated is barred from serving in Starfleet
or practicing medicine, in order to discourage the creation of genetic
"supermen" like Khan Singh. In some instances the subject suffers incurable
mental side effects.
Electrophoretic
Analysis
Standard medical test run to analyze cellular
components.
Encephalographic
Polygraph Scan
A brainwave scan used to determine truthfulness
during questioning.
Engramatic
Purge
Medical procedure used to erase specific
thoughts from a person's mind.
Genetic
Resequencing Vector
Medical suspension formulated to shut
down Borg nanoprobes as they emerge from dormancy.
Hematological
Scan
Medical diagnostic study of a patient's
blood factors.
Hexagen
Therapy
A treatment for Yarim-Fel syndrome.
Hyperencephalogram
Medical test that records and measures
brain-wave activity.
Hypothalmic
Series
Medical test used to determine hypothalmic
function.
Inner
Nuncial Series
A battery of neurological tests.
Jungian
Therapy
Psychiatric treatment based on the theories
of Carl Gustav Jung.
K-3
Indicator
Medical measurement of neural activity
corresponding to the level of pain being experienced by a patient.
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.
Neural
Pathway Induction
A procedure which repairs neural pathway
damage.
Neural
Polaric Induction
A Procedure used to repolarize neural
sheaths. The depolarization causes heightened neural activity, during which
one experiences visions.
Neuromuscular
Adaptation
A biochemical treatment intended to help
members of low-gravity species adapt to higher gravity. It was first proposed
by Nathaniel Teros in 2340, but abandoned in the theoretical stage.
Psychological
Profile
Complete psychological history required
of all Starfleet personnel.
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.
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 treatment suggested by Dr. Crusher
to help the injured Romulan Patahk after exposure to the surface conditions
on Galorndon Core in 2366.
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.
