Axial reconstructions should always be obtained parallel to the true vocal cords for optimal diagnostic accuracy.
The cumulative yield of each method with varying examination times was also investigated to assess the reading time required for optimal diagnostic yield for each method.
For example, compare the EVI endpoint for an optimal diagnostic pathway (Curves C in Figure 1) compared to the EVI endpoint for typical, unaided diagnostic pathway (Curves A in Figure 1).
ROC analysis was used for definition of the optimal diagnostic cut-offs and description of their sensitivity and specificity for the final diagnosis.
However, the most optimal diagnostic technique for stratification of patients for determining endocrine, HER2-targeted treatment, and correct treatment allocation for "basal-type" patients is openly being questioned in such guidelines.
The optimal diagnostic evaluation for establishing the risk of stroke among patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with a transient ischemic attack has not been determined.
We have reviewed the utilization of diagnostic techniques in the workup of patients with pulmonary blastomycosis, defined their diagnostic yields, and proposed an optimal diagnostic approach for the patient in whom pulmonary blastomycosis is considered.
Lower limb CUS is certainly an optimal diagnostic tool for both unstable and stable PE patients, since that a proximal positive result of the test has a high positive predictive value for PE [10].
Various PSA isoforms, kallikreins and molecular markers have been validated in various cohorts from ERSPC of men with and without PCa in order to design the optimal diagnostic procedure for screening asymptomatic men.
We show the optimal diagnostic strategy for targeting antiviral distribution is to use PCRtests until lab diagnostic capacity is exceeded, and then use syndromic diagnosis from this point.
