Unfortunately, we expect the prices to change more frequently than the offered hardware configurations, therefore the configurations of the corresponding vendor modules have to be changed anyway.
The main disadvantage of this solution is that whenever a provider changes its offered services, or its prices, the corresponding vendor module, or its configuration file has to be updated.
Moreover, Private Clouds built by using open-source technologies, like Eucalyptus [41], OpenNebula [42], CloudStack [43], or OpenStack [44], can be also represented in the brokering process by their corresponding Vendor Modules and managed by the Cloud Agency's uniform interface.
However, if a new sequencing platform is very different, we will be happy to work with users and the corresponding vendor to generate new sequencing format files.
The typical intensity range is highly dependent on the exact chemistry and image analysis software version and is available from the corresponding vendor documentation.
The effects of the phased array coil on PET attenuation are taken into account via a corresponding vendor-provided attenuation template, which is included in the final attenuation image.
The corresponding vendor-specific file formats, e.g., Fuji's IMG/INF format (Fujifilm, Düsseldorf, Germany) and the GEL format used in devices by Molecular Dynamics (Sunnyvale, CA, USA) and GE Healthcare (Munich, Germany), have to be interpreted accordingly by the analysis software.
Locate the make and model of the speaker on the magnet and find the corresponding kit at online vendor or at a specialty shop.
To obtain such scan-specific attenuation maps, registration-based methods have been proposed, suggesting to incorporate pre-acquired attenuation templates of the corresponding hardware components into the vendor-provided attenuation maps.
