Xerox, the pioneer of copying machines, is struggling in the competitive market for imaging products and services.
CG involves imaging competitive tactics, strategies and planning, and CS entails imagery related to the learning and execution of specific technical skills.
DWI has been considered helpful in the detection of residual tumor or suspicious lymph nodes after chemoradiotherapy, and in some cases might be competitive with PET imaging.
In addition, there is less soft tissue around peripheral joints, which gives the near-infrared optical imaging a competitive role in the diagnosis of peripheral joint disease, especially in detection of early arthritis or assessment of treatment effects.
We seem far enough along now in the subgenre of reality television devoted to competitive style and re-imaging that a show about hairdressers facing off to produce up-dos that look like bowls of pad Thai seems vaguely quaint and well intentioned, as if it were 1995 all over again.
It also further blurs the competitive distinctions in the digital imaging world, in which the copier giant Xerox now sells printers and the printer giant Hewlett-Packard sells cameras and copiers.
"Interest in competitive bidding for the digital imaging patent assets has been chilled by potential purchasers' reluctance to act as a 'stalking horse' bidder in a conventional, public auction," lawyers for the company wrote in the filing.
Range imaging is not competitive to intensity imaging.
NET functional imaging is a very competitive niche, competitors of FDOPA being two well-established radiopharmaceuticals for scintigraphy, I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) and In-pentetreotide, and even more radiopharmaceuticals for PET, including fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and somatostatin analogues.
Recent advances in optical coherence tomography (OCT) such as dual beam OCT have made OCT a competitive modality in terms of retinal microvasculature imaging [ 4– 6].
