Algorithm
An algorithm is a computer compatible equation. Computed tomographic algorithms reconstruct a function from its projections. A very large number of measurements are processed with complex mathematical operations to compute cross-sectional images.

Aliasing
Aliasing occurs when a false frequency information (or alias) is detected and the signal is greater than the Nyquist frequency.

Alpha Decay
The alpha decay is a corpuscular radiation. Two protons and two neutrons (a helium core) are emitted from the atomic nucleus. Because of the high biological effectiveness, the use of alpha particle radiation is not allowed in diagnostic nuclear medicine.

Alpha Particle
Alpha particles consist of two neutrons and two protons (nucleus of He), have a positive charge of 2 and a velocity in air of approximately one-twentieth the speed of light.
Discovered by Ernest Rutherford in 1899 (Rutherford-Bohr planetary atom model) alpha particles became emitted by very large atoms in an unstable energy state (high atomic number mostly over 82, with a too low neutrons//protons ratio (e.g. <= 1.5)).
Through their relative slow travel speed, they get stopped by e.g. a thin sheet of paper or the outer layers of human skin or travel only inches; once stopped they pick up free electrons and become helium.
These alpha particles are only dangerous to humans when the alpha-emitting material is inhaled or ingested (it causes damage that may lead to cancer) or comes into contact with the lens of the eye, caused by their less penetrating properties.

Alpha Test
The testing on software performed by the developers, usually during the development process; also, the first of several stages in the software testing process.
