Radiolucent objects may require the use of rectal contrast; however, in these cases computed tomography may be the better modality to definitively diagnose the foreign body.
RFA is a better modality for treatment of the contralateral lesions and could even be used for deep-seated lesions.
CT is a better modality for evaluation of thickness of the portions of the gallbladder wall that are obscured on ultrasound.
In conclusion, CEUS is a better modality that differentiate diagnosis of fundal localized type of gallbladder adenomyomatosis by increasing the visualization of Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses (RAS).
Therefore, long-term immunosuppressive therapy may be a better modality of treatment for refractory or relapsed AITL, and the avoidance or reduction of CsA-related renal toxicity and serious infection may be critical in warranting long-term immunosuppression.
Echocardiography is preferable to image the aortic root, which is embedded in the outflow tract of the left ventricle, while latex injection is a better modality to highlight the more distal ascending aorta.
A complete daily assessment of readiness for weaning in critically ill patients invasively mechanically ventilated for more than 24 hours can help clinicians choose a better modality for patients able to perform SBTs.
By current analysis, it is not possible to define the better modality administration and dosing regimen: higher dose should be prospectively tested monitoring decongestion by weight loss, diuresis, and symptom score measurement together with in-hospital and post-discharge renal function determination.
In this study, we modified the real-time one-step RT-PCR technique to improve the detection sensitivity by changing the fluorescent dye; this modification hardly inhibited the PCR, suggesting that FDG-PET/CT imaging is a better modality than hTERT mRNA quantification for cancer diagnosis.
Different from phase contrast or differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopes, the infrared excitation and third-order nonlinear nature of THG make THG microscopy a better modality to performed thick tissues or in vivo imaging with 3D sub-micron spatial resolution [ 8– 15, 15– 17].
