Contact time values, expressed as percentage recovery, were plotted as a function of lesion extent for the vertical and horizontal slots, respectively (Fig. 4A and B).
The SUVmax values are shown as a function of lesion size (SUV curve) up to 12 mm for lesions with identical uptake of tracer, e.g., 18FDG.
The work presented here was designed to measure the variation of amplitude threshold for discrimination between masses as a function of lesion size.
Nadel et al (2000) have explicitly proposed that memory traces "decay (i.e. disappear) and can replicate", in a model that explains some properties of the loss of memory as a function of lesion size [120].
The relationship between spores produced per lesion as a function of lesion size on the resistant cultivar can thus be given by (4) (5) where σ and ρ denote the relative strength of resistance with 0 < σ < 1 and 0 < ρ < 1.
A breakdown analysis as a function of lesion grade showed a significantly higher expression of HJURP in stroma (P = 0.031) and an expression of borderline significance (P = 0.063) in tumor cells in patients with relapsed G1-2 lesions compared to disease-free cases.
These two parameters for Mk-AK (normalized number of axonal swellings caudal to the lesion and normalized number of CS axons crossing midline at C5) are plotted in Fig. S1C and D as a function of lesion extent, together with the same data reported earlier for eight other monkeys (Freund et al., 2007).
Indeed, considering the score data as a function of lesion extent (% of hemi-cord) in the bivariate analysis, the difference between the two groups of monkeys was significant at a P-value of 0.038 when the vertical and horizontal slots were cumulated (Freund et al., 2006a) or at a P-value of 0.05 and 0.035 for the vertical slots and horizontal slots, respectively (Fig. 2E and F; Table 2, row A).
However, we found that PSF reconstruction produced image artifacts such as RCs that are not a monotonic function of lesion size (Fig. 1) for all tumor-to-background ratios (Figs. 2 and 3), and RCs that are noisy and could have values greater than 1 (Fig. 4).
Univariate logistic regression analysis was implemented to estimate the extent to which the odds that given ROI contains a metastatic lesion change as function of each of the five characteristics separately.
