HapHom botlh HotlhwI' - diminutive matter's centre scanner - nuclear scanner
(The nucleus is the centre of an atom.  An atom is the smallest part of matter.)
I should perhaps have called it a HapHom botlh peQ chem HotlhwI', because it
is the nucleus's magnetic field that it scans but the English was "Nuclear
Scanner." 

yu'egh'a' chuS lIngbogh jan - device producing noisy augmented waves (or
such waves which a device produces). - ultrasound machine  Since the
technician used both the waves and the device to examine my leg, I did not
use 'e' to mark a head for the clause. An ultrasound machine produces sound
("noisy") waves but the wavelength is so great that the waves are not
audible.  Hence they are ultrawaves -- yu'egh'a'mey.

*Roentgen tIHmey - Roentgen rays - X-rays. I preferred to use the
old-fashioned name to translate the concept into Klingon because X doesn't
stand for "unknown" in Klingon, and I while I think Canadian French uses
rayons X, the name of the discoverer is used more internatonally.  Naturally
Klingons would call them after the Qo'noSngan who first recorded their
detection, or perhaps after the first battle in which they played a decisive
role, but I cannot reveal that information at this time. (vISovbe'ba'mo')

*Translation for myself, because I'm not sure I believe I just managed to
say that: "The important thing is the number of uncharged particles in the
nucleus of the atom.  I believe that in order to scan the nuclear magnetic
field, that number must be odd." (<jum>vetlh yImorghQo' jay'.  qechwIj
