The development and enthusiastic acceptance of ultrasensitive cardiac CZT cameras highlights the importance of scan speed in contemporary nuclear medicine practice.
A more quantitative means to evaluate the importance of scan distortions in quantitative ADF is to examine the standard deviations of the 12 Gaussians fitted in Fig. 8, and these are shown in Fig. 9 (data table in Additional file 1).
This may be of particular importance for scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and requires images from samples that are periodic in two dimensions (2D).
It is important, therefore, to not only impress upon health-care providers the importance of DXA scanning in this group of patients, but to ask them to discuss it with women and relate to them current guidelines.
Current practice would appear to reserve CT scanning for those deemed to be at high risk of intracranial injury, whereas the NICE guidelines emphasise the importance of CT scanning as part of a screening process above a threshold of risk.
Open image in new window Fig. 6 a, bActive bleeding into the extrapleural hematoma, importance of extended scanning delay after contrast injection.
It is therefore timely to examine the importance of MRI scanning of the feet, using a longitudinal study design to define early prognostic markers.
The importance of height scans for each sample to exclude heterogeneities was demonstrated.
This underlines the importance of PET/CT scans for cases in which local treatment is discussed to determine sites of recurrence and adapt treatment as biological analyses alone are insufficient.
