We recently modified the weighting factors for the intensity-weighting algorithm, using data from pesticide monitoring studies conducted in subsets of AHS participants (Hines et al. 2008; Thomas et al. 2010a, 2010b).
For all cancer sites evaluated, associations using both the original and the updated versions of the intensity-weighting algorithm were similar; therefore, we present results based on the updated (version 2) algorithm only.
This intensity-weighting algorithm included factors that impacted exposure levels, such as whether the applicator personally mixed pesticides or repaired application equipment, the methods of applying pesticides, and the use and type of personal protective equipment when handling pesticides (Dosemeci et al. 2002).
However, the signal pattern characteristic of and predominant in synovial chondromatosis i.e. low to intermediate intensity with T1-weighting and very high intensity with T2-weighting, with focal areas of low intensity corresponding to hypointense calcifications (Kramer et al. 1993, Frick et al. 2007), was lacking in our case.
Involvement of these gynaecological organs is best demonstrated by MRI where primary lymphoma of the cervix and/or vagina is characterized by a large soft tissue mass best seen as high signal intensity lesions on T2-weighting and clearly distinguished from the surrounding normal tissues[ 25].
Thurstone's Categorical Judgement model [ 51] was used to obtain weightings of pain intensity for each descriptor of pain in the McGill Pain Questionnaire-PRI.
In clinical routine, the MR system settings, such as echo time (TE), repetition time (TR), and flip angle, are most often chosen to highlight, or saturate, the image intensity of tissues, resulting in T1-weighting or T2-weighting in an image defined by such a contrast.
An MRI scan of a normal femoral head would show uniformly high signal intensity on T1- and T2-weighting throughout the femoral head.
Conclusions: Intermittent exercise alters the ΔHR BLa relationship and TRIMP weightings at high exercise intensities.
The hybridization intensity of each probe was weighted to take into consideration the distance of the central nucleotide of the probe to the position of the 2-bp window being interrogated using an empirically derived weighting curve that resulted in greater weight being given to central positions (Stoffel et al. 2012).
