Confirmatory diagnosis with microscopy has limited sensitivity and molecular techniques such as PCR/qPCR are available only in limited centers.
A second limitation is that the diagnosis of trichomoniasis by wet mount has limited sensitivity as it relies on visualization of motile protozoa.
However, although NMR can yield valuable information on molecular structure, it has limited sensitivity.
However, this two-step approach has limited sensitivity and specificity.
Like all sensors which operate in the presence of noise, the Haystack radar has limited sensitivity.
EUS-guided FNA (EUS-FNA) of cyst fluid and exfoliated cells is one of the most accurate methods of diagnosis but still has limited sensitivity.
In addition, PET/CT has limited sensitivity to detect lesions which are less than 1 cm in diameter or which have low metabolic uptake, likely resulting in a slight under measurement of MTVwb and TLGwb.
However, CT scans do not accurately evaluate lymph nodes, especially those smaller than 5 mm [4], and bone scintigraphy has limited sensitivity and specificity for the detection of osseous metastases, due to radiotracer uptake by non-metastatic lesions, most commonly degenerative diseases.
This assay has limited sensitivity for avian strains [13] but has been used extensively by regulatory agencies and has established correlates of protection for seasonal human strains.
These studies used quantitative PCR (qPCR) which has limited sensitivity for detecting small differences in transcript levels between different individuals with defined IFIH1 genotypes.
However, such tools have typically relied on microarray hybridization, which has limited sensitivity and is susceptible to the effects of cross-hybridization between homologous DNA fragments.
