These skills should include the choice of the most appropriate imaging test or combination of tests to provide meaningful and relevant answers to the clinical issues and questions, balancing the advantages and disadvantages (clinical accuracy, radiation dose, availability, costs, etc). of the different investigations.
Important issues that restrict the use of CT in children are radiation dose, availability, and observer experience (Copley and Bush 2000).
Consideration of individuals' abilities to comply with bid dosing, availability of anticoagulation monitoring facilities, preference, and cost is recommended when deciding to treat with dabigatran rather than warfarin.
Using this approach, we wished to determine 1) the effects of increasing blood amino acid availability while maintaining insulin at a fasting postabsorptive concentration and 2) the dose-response relationship between insulin availability and a) phosphorylation of signaling molecules, b) expression of components of the ubiquitin-proteasome system, and c) various indexes of muscle protein turnover.
Safe introduction of citrate should start with the choice of a well-designed and flexible protocol with proven efficacy and adjusted to the local preferences of modality and dose, and availability of fluids and devices.
In contrast to our model, however, no constraint was placed on the number of doses available, resulting in drug availability throughout the entire course of the epidemic.
By applying higher doses, the availability to bind the refilling SAMs will not change because the incoming refilling molecules bond to completely "empty" silica surfaces.
QCT has hitherto been considered to be the preferred method for measuring lumbar BMD in AS, but radiation doses and availability are, however, problems of QCT.
The area under the curve value of DP-TAT-59 in the mammary tissue was approximately 3 times higher with IP administration than with oral administration, at a 6-fold lower dose, indicating higher availability of the drug delivered via DDS than via systemic administration.
The advantages of panoramic radiography, on the other hand, are comparatively low-radiation doses, its general availability, and the comparatively low costs.
As part of the SEAFP-99 programme, water cooled and helium cooled fusion power plant design concepts were assessed with regard to occupational doses and related availability and operating costs.
