The reduction in performance from clinically diagnosed tumors (even Stage I) to pre-symptomatic disease is not surprising given that clinically diagnosed cancers are almost certainly in general much larger than the early tumors we need to detect to improve survival, and underscores the importance of evaluating candidate markers in specimens from pre-symptomatic women.
We calculate LOD diagrams as the logarithm of the ratio of signal concentration near SS to the signal concentration near splice-like signal [see Section Using detected signals to improve SS prediction].
The fact that about half of CRC patients relapse within 1 year after curative surgery emphasises the urgent need for finding practical diagnostic tools to detect CTCs to improve prediction of recurrence with conventional UICC stage.
Therefore, we suggest in further studies to quantify the extent of the PPC detected by LUS to improve its value in clinical decision making.
The authors believe that a greater cohort of patients with more incidences detected is desirable to improve the credibility of the study.
For implementing V-MIMO feedback, it is assumed that the transmitters jointly detect feedback information to improve CSI quality.
Assessment of quality indicators allows clinicians to evaluate clinical assistance with a standard, to detect deficiencies and to improve medical assistance.
To examine the ability of the Medical Technology and Innovations (MTI), Inc., Photoscreener (Cedar Falls, IA) to detect hyperopia and to improve the photograph grading criteria to screen for amblyopiogenic levels of hyperopia.
Regarding the performance of a production system, it is not sufficient simply to detect which operations to improve, but it is imperative to pinpoint the right actions in the right order to avoid sub-optimizations and wastes in time and expense.
Molecular methods for detecting Cyclospora continue to improve (9).
