Nevertheless, the role of US has been significantly boosted by the introduction of US contrast media and recent evidence concludes that contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) contributes significantly to the characterisation of carotid plaques, in terms of both surface delineation (ulcer detection and characterisation) and internal structure (visualisation of intraplaque neovascularisation) [13, 14].
The characterization of the cluster analysis gives us a clear statistical delineation of the intensity distribution in terms of HRI-diff among different levels of hepatic steatosis.
Besides the delineation of air mass properties in terms of their moisture and temperature characteristics, each one relates to a particular synoptic-scale pattern, as revealed by the daily weather map [ 37].
CMR allows a comprehensive evaluation of the right ventricle both in terms of anatomical delineation, function quantification and tissue characterisation.
Both PET and cMRI endure certain limitations, especially in terms of manual delineation of ESV and EDV, which is subjected to a risk of partial volume effect on PET, and for cMRI, there is a risk for misdelineation of contours at the myocardium.
Significant progress has been made in terms of a delineation of critical events during the earliest phase(s) of Treg differentiation and also in terms of the localization of their differentiation, which are not referenced here (Lio et al., 2008, Lee et al., 2009, Fontenot et al., 2005).
The delineation of these areas and their links in terms of surface flow pathways provides us with a pattern of relationships between individual plots, i.e. going from each plot to the other plots over the entire catchment.
Using phenological maps as presented in this article, efficient adaption strategies may be planned and implemented in terms of, e.g. adjusting delineation, shape and allocation of protected areas.
Using phenological maps as presented in this article, appropriate adaption strategies may be planned and implemented [45] in terms of, e.g. adjusting delineation, shape and geographical position of protected areas [46, 47].
As a result, the quality of histological images varies widely and is often poor in terms of contrast and border delineation.
