Moreover, for patients with multiple tumours, an approximate tumour location was given by a range of slices where the tumour could be located.
The signs looked ominous: Farina Elia was oozing wily stealth, keeping her opponent off guard with a range of vicious slices, whipped topspins and brilliant angles.
To determine the slice with the maximum amount of fat within the renal sinus, the reader selected a range of several scan slices that appeared to have equivalent amounts of fat based on visual inspection.
For doing so, we exploit the fact that these undesirable objects are local, i.e., they only appear in a narrow range of slices in the z axis.
For collateral identification, coronal maximum intensity projections over a limited range of slices (partial MIPs) were used.
To that end, a value in the lower range of slice thickness settings proposed by the EANM bone scintigraphy guideline should be used (e.g. 0.33 mm) and settings with higher range values for mAs and kV may be needed (Van den Wyngaert et al. 2016).
Due to the wide range of slice thickness in our clinically acquired CT data, we visually assessed the severity of emphysema on CT according to the modified Goddard scoring system [ 9], instead of assessing Hounsfield Unit threshold using imaging analysis software.
To study the effects of the slice interval on the lesion size measurements, we chose the 3 slice intervals of 5 mm, 2.5 mm and 1.25 mm, which are either commonly used in today's clinical practice and clinical trials (e.g. 5 mm) or likely cover the range of slice intervals that may be used in the future (e.g. 2.5 mm and 1.25 mm).
My grandmother usually prepared her timballo with macaroni in a béchamel sauce, adding to the mixture cooked peas and spinach, hard-boiled egg and a range of different cheeses (chiefly Grana Padano and slices of mozzarella).
The model is also consistent with recent fMRI studies suggesting that the striatum consists of functional "slices" reflecting a range of discounting factors [30], [31].
