As for any technology, evaluation of HDR systems, in terms of quality of experience, is essential.
However, as an array-based technology, evaluation of signal intensities close to background levels tends to cause artifacts in array analysis because of high levels of background noise and/or cross-hybridization [ 2]; moreover, hybridization efficiency might vary with the probes used, suggesting that the calculation of real molar concentrations is inaccurate.
Our findings regarding user engagement with web-based technology echo those for mobile technology: an evaluation of 10 mobile diabetes applications emphasized the importance of user-centred design, an engaging interface, and context-driven use [ 55].
Professor Carole Longson, director of health technology evaluation at Nice, said: "With the Intrabeam Radiotherapy System only one dose is required.
The study represents a first step in technology evaluation and demonstrates the potential of stapled joints.
Frey also serves as faculty advisor for the Comprehensive Initiative on Technology Evaluation (CITE), a consortium of six MIT partners established in 2012 by a multimillion-dollar award from USAID.
In a review of medical information technology evaluation studies published between 1982 and 2002, we found that the volume and variety of economic evaluations had increased; however, investigators routinely omitted key cost or effectiveness elements in their designs, resulting in publications with incomplete, and potentially biased, economic findings.
High Resolution-Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (HR-pQCT) is an emerging technology for evaluation of bone quality in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
FDG-PET/CT is an increasingly accessed technology for evaluation of malignancy in areas of both high and low TB prevalence [ 3] and therefore understanding the potential impact for its use in TB diagnosis and management is important for clinicians ordering and interpreting FDG-PET/CT.
ECG-gated multislice CT provides a cost-effective, non-invasive technology for evaluation of the coronary arteries, as well as for additional clinical applications, which require morphological assessment of the heart and adjacent structures with simultaneous evaluation of the coronary circulation.
Although economic and environmental models have tested the integration of many renewable energy technologies, a rigorous evaluation of ADs within a computable general equilibrium model has yet to be completed.
