Sentence examples for assessment of diffuse from inspiring English sources

In the assessment of diffuse but also of focal parenchymal disease, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is currently one of the most important added values of liver MRI.

Decision-makers prefer to use rough estimates that require limited time and budget, in the preliminary assessment of diffuse pollution.

However, the ceSSFP technique has not yet been implemented in the assessment of diffuse changes involving the entire LV wall, and this is its main limitation.

The unit pollution load method which is based on the pollution generation rate per unit area and time for a given land use can aid decision-makers in the preliminary assessment of diffuse pollution.

For the conditions represented in this study, these findings suggest that, despite the best modeling and field instrumentation practices, heat-based techniques for the assessment of diffuse groundwater recharge rates are likely not well suited for real field conditions, but could still represent a viable approach for applications carried out in engineered materials and under controlled conditions.

Groups of healthy younger (n=45, mean age=21.6 years, range=18 25) and older (n=48, mean age=63.1 years, range=55 67) adults participated in a controlled, two-session laboratory assessment of diffuse noxious inhibitory controls (DNIC), a measure of endogenous pain inhibition.

In summary, our study provides additional information on the real estimate of the alveolar volume when different sampling points are used in the course of the single breath diffusion test for the assessment of diffusing capacity.

Following the assessment of lung diffusing capacity, DmCO and Vc were computed as described previously (de Bisschop et al. 2012; Glenet et al. 2007; Pavelescu et al. 2013).

Importantly, pilot data from our laboratory have suggested that transient exposure to 40 ppm NO during the assessment of lung diffusing capacity has no discernible effect on systolic pulmonary artery pressure in humans exposed to normobaric hypoxia (FIO2 12.5 %) for ~17 h (sPAP: 32.7 ± 5.9 pre-DLCO/DLNO assessment vs. 31.6 ± 6.4 mmHg post-DLCO/DLNO assessment, n = 5).

Any such recovery may have allowed DLCO, DLNO, DmCO and Vc to return towards pre-exercise values prior to our post-exercise assessment of lung diffusing capacity, potentially causing us to underestimate or even miss any exercise-induced expansion of the pulmonary vascular bed at high altitude.

Despite this concern, in the present study the first post-exercise single breath assessment of lung diffusing capacity was performed immediately after exercise termination (within 20 s) with the second performed 4 mins later, according to current guidelines (Macintyre et al. 2005).
