Definition
透视 is a noun with three major senses: (1) perspective in art — the technique of creating the illusion of depth on a flat surface; (2) fluoroscopy / X‑ray examination in medicine; and (3) figurative insight — the ability to see through appearances or grasp the essence of something. The context determines which meaning applies: 透视画法 means 'perspective drawing', 透视检查 means 'X‑ray examination', and 透视能力 means 'insight' or 'penetrating understanding'. The raw English gloss also lists verb uses (see through, penetrate), but this row covers only the noun senses.
