Resonance
Resonance (medicine)
Resonance (pronounced: /ˈrɛzənəns/) is a term used in various fields of medicine to describe the phenomenon of sound or energy waves interacting with a system in a way that amplifies the amplitude of the waves.
Etymology
The term "resonance" comes from the Latin resonare, meaning "to echo". It was first used in the context of physics to describe the phenomenon of sound waves amplifying each other when they are in phase. The term was later adopted in medicine to describe similar phenomena observed in various medical imaging techniques.
