attenuation compensation |
In ultrasonography, an increase in receiver gain with time to compensate for loss in echo amplitude with depth, usually due to attenuation.
Synonym: attenuation compensation, depth compensation, time compensation gain, time-compensated gain, time-varied gain control, time-varied gain.

gene dosage compensation |
The putative mechanism that adjusts the X-linked phenotypes of males and females to compensate for the haploid state in males and the diploid state in females. It is now largely ascribed to lyonization which compensates the mean of the dose but not its variance, which is greater in females.

depth compensation |
In ultrasonography, an increase in receiver gain with time to compensate for loss in echo amplitude with depth, usually due to attenuation.
Synonym: attenuation compensation, depth compensation, time compensation gain, time-compensated gain, time-varied gain control, time-varied gain.

dosage compensation |
<genetics> A genetic regulatory mechanism which operates to equalise the phenotypic expression of characteristics determined by genes on the x chromosome so that they are equally expressed in the xy male and the xx female.

time compensation gain |
In ultrasonography, an increase in receiver gain with time to compensate for loss in echo amplitude with depth, usually due to attenuation.
Synonym: attenuation compensation, depth compensation, time compensation gain, time-compensated gain, time-varied gain control, time-varied gain.
