The resulting digital edition of the Origin complements the scanned copy.
The conventional serological diagnostic test, estimation of serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) lacks both sensitivity and specificity as a screening tool and improved tests are needed to complement ultrasound scanning, the major modality for surveillance of groups at high risk of HCC.
We complemented the search by scanning reference lists of the identified articles.
Significant theoretical and methodological improvements such as the "fringe or periodic pattern bleaching" (19), later improved (20) and more recently "scanning microphotolysis" (21) complement the basic technique.
We believe these results and future results from SCAN-B will complement the existing clinical and pathological evaluation and can become another part of our armamentarium in diagnosing, evaluating, and treating breast cancer.
Advances in tomographic X-ray imaging can permit this level of detailed characterization, and complement stereographic scanning electron microscope measurements that have also been reported.
It provides a good complement to Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with an Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (SEM-EDS) which is routinely used for the 2D elemental analysis of the inorganic components of painting fragments.
Scan while the scanning is still good.
More specific and sensitive serological tests, to complement ultrasound scanning, would be of great clinical value.
