With CT, the extent of the occlusion and the collateral venous flow can be appraised.
Thus, subjects with similar infarct size may have infarcts with different shape (eg, transmural-extent) depending on the timeliness of reperfusion therapy and the extent of arterial collateral flow.
As a consequence, the risk of retinal damage by transmitted energy and the extent of collateral damage to the focal volume could be minimized accordingly when using adaptive optics in fs-laser surgery.
Less incident energy generally reduces the risk of retinal damage because both the total amount of possibly transmitted energy is limited and the extent of collateral damage to the focal volume is decreased.
After the outbreak of hostilities, the government shied away from full implementation upon realizing the extent of likely collateral damage political, social, economic, and diplomatic to both Britain and neutral countries.
In the PNS, conditioning lesions have been shown to enhance regeneration rate [3], [4] and the extent of axon collateral sprouting [5], [6].
One thing that interests me which very few people seem to be talking about is the extent of "collateral damage," in terms of the number of dead.
Our study aims to compare the prosthetic and native trochlear articular surfaces and to estimate the extent of collateral ligament imbalance, which is technically uncorrectable by collateral ligament release when TKA implants are mechanically aligned.
In the setting of complete coronary artery occlusion, oxygen supply to the region at risk of ischemia depends primarily on the extent of recruitment of collateral vessels in the hypoperfused region.
Maximum intensity projection (MIP) vascular map images reconstructed from the arterial and portal phases show the extent of collateral vessels due to portal hypertension, as well as the arteries that perfuse abnormal regions and lesions.
