Medical Definition of Ionisation

1. Any process by which a neutral atom gains or loses electrons, thus acquiring a net charge, as the dissociation of a substance in solution into ions or ion production by the passage of radioactive particles. High temperatures, electrical discharges or nuclear radiations can cause ionisation. (16 Dec 1997)
