Aerospace | 1. With respect to electromagnetic radiation, the process by which a body emits electromagnetic radiation as a consequence of its temperature only. Compare reflection, transmission. See emittance, emissivity.2. With respect to electric propulsion and energy conversion, the sending out of charged particles from a surface causing the generation of these particles; e.g., emission of ions from an ionizing surface in ion engines.

Agriculture | Waste released or emitted to the environment. The term is commonly used in referring to discharges of gases and particles to the atmosphere, i.e., air pollutants, and also is used in referring to particles or energy released radioactively. Sometimes the term is used broadly, encompassing any pollutant discharge. (references) |

 | Illustration of prototype machine to perform mammography by Positron Emission Tomography (PET Scan). Since this machine is used solely for mammography, it is called Positron Emission Mammography (PEM).Credit: Joseph Frank, NIH Diagnostic Imaging. |  | Shown is a PET scan (positron emission tomography) of a 17 year old girl with a longstanding history of epilepsy, who has a brain tumor classified as a grade 1 astrocytoma. The PET scan indicates that the tumor is not metabolizing excess glucose and is therefore benign. PET scans allow doctors to tell if a tumor is malignant without resorting to a surgical biopsy.Credit: Unknown photographer/artist. |
 | Shown is a PET scan (positron emission tomography) of a 62 year old man with a brain tumor classified as a grade III astrocytoma. The PET scan displays an increased glucose metabolic rate shown by the irregular bright white area in the center of the scan.Credit: Unknown photographer/artist. |  | Position emission tomography (PET) of cerebral glucose utilization in a normal individual. This tomogram is through the upper part of the cerebral hemisphere.
