Medical Imaging[edit | edit source]
In medical imaging, a flip is a rotation of an image or a part of an image. This can be used to improve the visibility of certain structures or areas in the image. For example, in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a flip angle is used to adjust the orientation of the magnetic field, which can affect the contrast and clarity of the image.
Cardiology[edit | edit source]
In cardiology, a flip can refer to a sudden change in the orientation of the heart, such as in a flip-flop rhythm. This is a type of arrhythmia where the heart alternates between two different rhythms. This can be caused by various conditions, such as heart disease, electrolyte imbalance, or certain medications.
Orthopedics[edit | edit source]
In orthopedics, a flip can refer to a type of surgical procedure, such as a flip osteotomy. This is a procedure where a bone is cut and then flipped over to correct a deformity or to promote healing.
