Azimuthal (medicine)


azimuthal
<radiobiology> Generally an angle, measured around an object.

In spherical geometries, the angle which is not the polar angle. On the earth, one incarnation of the azimuthal angle is the longitude of a location relative to the prime meridian through Greenwich, England.

In toroidal geometries, the longitude idea still applies, but the other angle is the poloidal angle, not the polar angle. The azimuthal direction is the long way around a torus.

See: poloidal.
