There are now half a dozen such technologies, ranging from old favourites, such as electro-encephalography, to new-fangled methods including magneto-encephalography, which measures the brain's magnetic fields, and single-photon-emission computerised tomography, which tracks radioactively tagged chemicals around the organ.
But others are using fancy new techniques like cone-beam computerised tomography which actually expose people to much higher levels of radiation.Moreover, guidelines from the American Dental Association state that healthy adults should have a bitewing X-ray no more than once every two or three years, and that there is little reason to X-ray patients who do not have symptoms.
22 These codes are submitted to the Secondary Users Service (SUS); the SUS is a nationally determined computerised algorithm which generates a Health Resource Group HRGG) descriptor based on the submitted codes.
The strength of this study is that population-based data were acquired from the general practice computerised records, which allowed us to distinguish the reasons for PSA testing, and thus calculate rates for screening compared with testing due to symptoms or disease monitoring.
We additionally examined studies in which computerised CBT was compared with face to face CBT.
All women were followed up with the National Health Service computerised call/recall system, which records all smear tests and their results.
A PIP is a practice-based payment for meeting specific, practice targets (e.g. providing after-hours care, teaching medical students, and having a quality computerised record system), which can be even further removed from direct patient care.
Computerised blinds The computerised control panel, which displays how much energy and hot water the house is producing and consuming – and now allows the family to operate the windows and blinds – looks fiendishly complicated.
It inspired Jennifer Steinkamp's computerised animation Eye Catching, which belongs to the Istanbul Modern collection, and is currently on view there at the cistern.
CNS Vital Signs offers robust and reliable measurements of cognition which are computerised but are supervised by a technician.
