Two of the models were based on statistically selected sites that yield maximum discriminating power between cancer and normal tissue.
In a similar study using 6 b-values up to b = 3000 s/mm and a 3.0 T MRI, Takanaga et al. [ 29] reported that the maximum contrast b-value between tumor and normal breast tissue was 1500 s/mm and they concluded that the decline of b-values for normal-breast-to-background level is higher than 1.5 T, because the SNR of 3.0 T MRI is higher than that of 1.5 T.
In this study, we set the ROIs to include the entire area of the tumor, thus the contrast between tumor and normal tissue might be underestimated and the estimated maximum contrast b-value may differ from actual values.
The lower contrast between tumor and normal brain may be partly attributed to this timing, at which a maximum ratio of uptake is not reached.
In parallel, reliability and accuracy of the multiaxial fatigue criteria proposed by Matake and McDiarmid, respectively, have been checked in the presence of high values of the ratio between the maximum normal stresses and the shear stress amplitudes relative to the critical plane.
However, the boundaries between ASD and normal variation are fuzzy.
Not much difference was observed for food items between MCI and normal group except animal oil (median was lower than 5 times/week in MCI and higher 5 in normal control; maximum lower than 15 and higher than 20 separately) and milk or milk products (the maximum of normal was nearly to 5 times in a week, but MCI nearly to 0).
That's the difference between great players and normal players".
Maximum contrast between normal and abnormal tissue occurs 40 120 min and 10 40 min after injection of gadobenate and gadoxetic acid respectively.
With the more variable nature of modern power systems and the introduction of significant intermittent generation, it is likely that this compromise would become ever more inefficient, as the variation between the maximum loading and the normal loading would become more significant and variable [33].
