However, we found considerable inhomogeneity in tissue loading suggesting that the bones were not fully adapted.
2) Intensity nonuniform inhomogeneity correction, tissue class segmentation, and spatial normalisation were performed using the unified segmentation approach implemented in SPM5.
One aspect to consider is the inhomogeneity in tissue sampling and interpretation standards.
This inhomogeneity in tissue conductivity is at the time of writing of this article incorporated into the graphical user interface of ApiVizTEP, i.e. the user may set tumor conductivity to surrounding tissue conductivity ratio, but our mathematical model and therefore the field-calculating engine do not take this ratio into account.
However, when decreasing alpha to 0.01 or less, the ripple remains within a few percent, which is sufficient, especially when comparing this value to other sources of fluctuations of the irradiation such as local absorption changes by tissue inhomogeneities, bleeding, or inhomogeneities of the distribution of the photosensitizer.
Tissue inhomogeneity was observed between samples of each biopsy but due to the amount of tissue available and because SEM allows a large area to be analysed, these differences were found to be consistent between samples.
Anatomic contour irregularity and tissue inhomogeneity in head-and-neck radiotherapy can lead to significant dose inhomogeneity due to the presence of hot and cold spots across the treatment volumes.
Although it is not possible to fully describe tissue inhomogeneity and anisotropy with just the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio, accounting for inhomogeneity and anisotropy in these two parameters may help to improve the in vivo characterization of tissue using arthroscopic indentation testing.
Autoradiography of human cerebellum revealed NET specific uptake in NET-rich regions identified with IHC, though blocking experiments were not possible due to the vast inhomogeneity of the tissue samples.
These results provide the motivation for the current investigation to assess the influence of tissue inhomogeneity on the chondrocyte milieu in situ, e.g. stress, strain, fluid velocity and pressure fields within articular cartilage.
