The analysis framework facilitated the identification of a standards review process comprising six sequential and overlapping phases with multiple components (Table 2).
A rather challenging and even problematic issue for validation of segmentation algorithms is the identification of a gold standard (i.e. the benchmark).
Future clinical research on EoE is likely to concentrate mostly on the identification of a gold standard for diagnosis, the determination of factors that predict severe disease and response to treatment, and the role of maintenance therapy as we gain further understanding of the long-term complications of this disease.
Commercial vanillin from Sigma-Aldrich (St . Louis MO) was used as a standard for identification and construction of a standard curve.
Because direct comparison against a 'gold standard' allows the validity, specificity and sensitivity of a test to be calculated, the identification of a realistic 'gold standard' against which motion palpation can be evaluated is essential.
The identification of a population where standard chemotherapy is futile has profound benefits for patients, clinicians and the health-care system.
Performance efficacy of duplex PCR was then compared with phenotypic identification using a standard battery of phenotypic tests.
According to these criteria, BE is defined as the macroscopic identification, using a standard endoscopy exam, of abnormal columnar esophageal epithelium suggestive of a columnar epithelium-lined distal esophagus.
According to the criteria, Barrett's epithelium is defined as the macroscopic identification, using a standard endoscopy exam, of abnormal columnar esophageal epithelium suggestive of a columnar-lined distal esophagus.
According to the criteria, Barrett's epithelium is defined as the macroscopic identification, using a standard endoscopy exam, of abnormal columnar esophageal epithelium suggestive of columnar-lined distal esophagus.
(Its actual name: "Assessment of Children's Exposure to Surface Methamphetamine Residues in Former Clandestine Methamphetamine Labs, and Identification of a Risk-Based Cleanup Standard for Surface Methamphetamine Contamination").
