B-mode ultrasound may be used to assess the thickness of the muscle over a wide range of lung volumes from RV to TLC, as was demonstrated by Cohn and co-workers [16].
Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) provides a noninvasive method to assess the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer [30].
It is not possible to assess the thickness of tephra on the ground solely from the available satellite images.
In the nine patients with grade II OA who were assessed, the thickness of the superficial amorphous cartilage layer improved significantly between the baseline and final evaluations [ 104].
While hysteroscopy allows the visualization of the uterine cavity, it may not be able to assess the thickness of the myometrium or the presence of anomalies outside the accessible cavity, such as a rudimentary horn.
Furthermore, we assessed the thickness of the first layer of subchondral plate by measuring the distance between the subchondral bone edge and the point where the value of B.Ar/T.Ar drops to more than 98% of its value at the bone edge.
These LEIS results, which complement our AFM images, suggest that ozone-based ALD more effectively deposits uniform dielectric layers on MoS2. Figure 3a, b show the ex situ Raman spectra of a monolayer-thick MoS2 flake exposed to ozone at 30 or 200 °C for 10 s; we assessed the thickness of the flake by interpreting the ∼18.2 cm–1 separation between the two peaks present.
ioUS, an easily repeatable examination, and multiple B-mode scan are performed during tumor debulking, assessing constantly the thickness of the remaining lesion.
In patients submitted to ileal resection, previous oral contrast ultrasound studies [ 8, 9], assessing the wall thickness of the neo-terminal ileum, showed a low sensitivity in detecting initial, low grade CD recurrence (i.e. Rutgeerts score 1 and 2) that may be limited only to the ileo-colonic anastomosis [ 1].
