Herein it was shown, that scanning at slightly improved resolution is demonstrated when using 43Sc instead of 44Sc.
By comparing Pgap and vertical Pgap profiles retrieved from different directions, it is shown that scan angle impact on Pgap and vertical Pgap profile differs amongst different forest types.
It has been shown that MIBI hepatic scanning may be used as a pre-treatment indicator of ABCB1-mediated drug clearance from the liver in cancer patients.
In other works, it has been shown that ϵ effect scan changes the predicted probability of collapse by 20%to30%0% for benchmark project located in the south of downtown Los Angeles (Goulet et al. 2006).
However, it has been shown that the bone scan is limited in its sensitivity to measure treatment effect, with only 52% of responders showing scintigraphic improvement and 62% of non-responders showing scintigraphic deterioration at 6 to 8 months in one early study of patients with breast cancer [6].
Although it has been shown that chest CT scans can precisely detect the extent of complications such as acute respiratory distress syndrome and pneumonia in patients with smoke inhalation [16, 17], the detection of the tracheal wall thickening caused by smoke inhalation with a CT scan had also never been reported previously.
It has been shown that reducing the scan height or the Field of View (FOV) from the larger size to the next available smaller size results in a significant reduction, up to 50%, in the radiation dosage to the patient [9].
Fortunately, it has been shown that evaluation of these scans is generally consistent among observers, so cranial MRI may be considered to be a valid technique to assess disease progression or reversal [ 15].
Studies on the efficacy of bone scans for therapy monitoring are scarce, but is has been shown that the results of bone scans and fluorine PET heavily influence therapy decisions in clinical practice: Hillner et al. investigated the influence of 18F-fluoride PET/CT on therapy management in 2217 patients with osseous metastases.
In these studies, it was shown that a CT scan can detect the recruitment of previously nonaerated alveoli during PEEP increases.
