The phrase "abnormal scan" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in medical contexts to refer to a scan that shows unusual or unexpected results.
Example: "The doctor reviewed the results and noted that there was an abnormal scan indicating potential health issues."
Alternatives: "irregular scan" or "atypical scan".
Annual all-cause death rates increased with increasing abnormal scan severity in all three ethnicities.
With Chinese as the reference group, adjusted hazard ratio and 95% CI for Malays and Indians were 1.29 (0.95-1.77) and 1.06 (0.74-1.50) in the minimally abnormal scan group, and 1.20 (0.75-1.91) and 0.82 (0.47-1.45) in the severely abnormal scan group, respectively.Mortality risk is related to the severity of scan abnormality and is independent of ethnicity in Asians.
If the BRASS method split the putamen uptake into smaller anterior and posterior uptake figures, the posterior putamen may well have indicated an abnormal scan.
Overall, the anterior putamen dominates the quantitative uptake figure, even though there is a gradient of reduced uptake as we move to the posteriorly that could be indicative of an abnormal scan.
In this case, the complete striatal DAT binding figure is below normal limits so that Southampton method gives the interpretation of an abnormal scan, which corresponds to the clinical diagnosis.
We aimed to determine the differential prognostic value of MPI abnormality severity among three major Asian ethnic groups.From 16,921 consecutive patients, we used summed stress score to define increasing abnormal scan severity groups (minimal, mild, moderate, and severe) among Chinese, Indian, and Malay patients.
Among abnormal scans, a reversible or inducible myocardial perfusion abnormality was present in 946 (54 %).
Yet in the end, only one in eight with abnormal scans actually had a medical problem, and even then there was nothing they could do about it most of the time, said Dr. Rory Collins, chief executive of the U.K. project.
Abnormal scanning in schizophrenia and also bipolar disorder was independent of stimulus type and therefore reflects a global visual scanning impairment not specific to faces.
The present study was designed to determine whether abnormal scanning is specific to images with social content or extends to other types of stimuli.
Further studies with both normal and abnormal scans would better characterize the ability to accurately differentiate between positive and negative findings.
