In the Child version, three dimensions show lack of internal consistency ("Body Image" α = 0.57, "Social Limitations" α = 0.23, "Treatment Burden" α = 0.24).
In the overall sample, each of the PRO instruments demonstrated high internal consistency (QLPSD Body Image, α = 0.80; SRS-22 Self Image, α = 0.78; SAQ, α = 0.89; TAPS, α = 0.87), also both for younger and adult patients subgroups.
Body image subscale internal consistency was found to be adequate for clinical research (Cronbach's alpha = 0.7) as was test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.66).
For "Body Image", the lack of consistency is negligible.
These criteria require high quality echocardiographic images, with consistent landmarks to ensure consistency of image acquisition.
After electrophoresis, fluorescence images of the gels were acquired and verified for consistency using Image Quant software (version 6.0, GE Healthcare).
The ENC-DAT normal database is dependent on reconstruction and quantification methods; hence its clinical use requires consistency in image processing and analysis.
In this study, cautions were made to ensure consistency in image sample generation.
The DICOM part 14: GSDF standardization process should therefore allow for a consistency in image presentation across various display devices, although this consistency may not be fully guaranteed.
Digital images through the meridian of individual cells (such that nucleoli were visible within the nucleus) were randomly taken throughout the section by a digital camera (AMT, Danvers, MA); this approach allowed for consistency of images taken between treatment groups.
