ESR
n 1: the rate at which red blood cells settle out in a tube of
blood under standardized conditions; a high rate usually
indicates the presence of inflammation [syn: {erythrocyte
sedimentation rate}, {sedimentation rate}, {sed rate}]
2: microwave spectroscopy in which there is resonant absorption
of radiation by a paramagnet [syn: {electron spin
resonance}, {electron paramagnetic resonance}]
