In addition, it can be used without knowing a person's bone density score, although having this test result can enhance the accuracy of the prediction.
The Z-score is derived by comparing a person's DXA scan result to a healthy person of similar age and represents the number of standard deviations that the patient may diverge from the normal bone mineral density score for his or her age.
In Method 2, the nutritional quality of different diets was considered by calculating their nutrient density score, and the environmental impact was then expressed per nutrient density score.
All 7 patients with follow-up angiograms had improvements in the collateral density score.
There is limited value in reducing results to a low number of indicators that are easy to read, but difficult to interpret, e.g. nutrient density score.
For each allele of interest in each genome, Field calculated a "singleton density score" based on the density of nearby single, unique mutations.
In BA, we requested that each new node connects to two already existing nodes, while in ER we set the density score (p=0.4).
An example for tag fusion of the three density score lists is illustrated in Fig. 5, where s 1, s 2 and s 3 are the three similarity score lists generated by three types of image representation, s is the final score list to be fused.
The highest density score would be 10 by definition.
Caspase-postive neurons in the cortex, caudate, and thalamus were counted using StereoInvestigator 7 (MicroBrightfield, Inc., Williston, VT) and a mean density score was derived for each animal.
It was particularly striking to observe that caspase-4 expression significantly increased when going from a plaque density score of 0, which corresponds to no plaques observed in the 5 cortical regions, to 1, which corresponds to only 1 6 neuritic plaques per mm2.
