Because DWI demonstrates high contrast-to-noise ratio, detection of small volume subcentimetre disease is improved.
The Portman Group ruled that because the "shooters" were so small – just 20ml of liquid – that they were drunk in one go "because of the small volume of liquid in the test-tube rather than because of the packaging itself".
The G2 acute urinary toxicities were significantly lower in ART or SRT treatment than in RAD group, because of smaller volumes of bladder receiving high doses (toxicity-free rates of 70%, 82% vs. 32%, respectively; P < 0.001) (Table 3).
This finding is likely to be an underestimate of the actual extent of rickettsial disease because of the small volume of blood tested in each PCR and possible sample deterioration during transport and storage (between sample collection and testing).
Variability in hippocampal volume was possibly magnified because of the small volume of the hippocampus, making the detection of any treatment effect difficult.
Furthermore, because of the small volume of CNB specimens, the interobserver agreement rate of HER2 tests for CNB specimens might be lower than for surgically resected specimens.
Therefore, consumption of foods with high energy density will result in excess energy intake because of the small volume of food in relation to its energy content.
Because of the small volume of CSF obtained, a comprehensive laboratory analysis (virus isolation, plaque reduction neutralization test) could not be performed.
For the preterm infants, the miRNAs were extracted from whole blood because of the small volume of blood collected (less than 500 μL).
Because of the small volume of blood obtained from infants and young children, we used < 1 mL in some pools, although we combined the same sample volume from each donor to form a specific pool.
