In dentistry or medicine, the return to health or improvement of a pathologic state.
In digital imaging, a pixel that is the smallest recognizable point found in the master image.
The subsidence of an inflammatory process.
The amount of detail which can be seen in a microscope or on a computer monitor.
A point in the development of a disease where the inflammation begins to disappear.
Ability to distinguish fine details, as through a microscope.
The stage during which inflammation gradually disappears.
A term applied to infective processes, to indicate a natural subsidence of the inflammation without the formation of pus. Thus a pneumonic lung is said to ‘resolve’ when the material exuded into it is absorbed into the blood and lymph, so that recovery takes place naturally; an inflamed area is said to resolve when the inflammation diminishes and no abscess forms; a glandular enlargement is said to resolve when it decreases in size without suppuration. Resolution is also used to describe the extent to which individual details for example, cell structures can be identified by the eye when using a light microscope.
Decomposition; absorption or breaking down of the products of inflammation.
The capability of x-ray imaging systems, including fluoroscopes, television systems, and screen-film combinations, to generate distinct radiographic images of closely positioned objects. Typically, this term is employed more commonly by technical representatives rather than radiographers.
In chemistry, the process of splitting a substance into its isomeric forms.
The capacity of the eye or a lens to perceive fine details; with the human eye having a resolution of one minute of arc.
