Criteria I consisted of brownish spots and demarcation line with irregular microvascular patterns, criteria II consisted of well-demarcated brownish area with thick dark spots and/or winding vessels, and criteria III consisted of elongation, twist, and meandering destruction of IPCL pattern.
Amongst the remaining 26% of reference sequences, many variants falling below the read depth criteria (Irregular category SNPs) were identified, indicating probable expression of both homeologs.
Patients with PCOS were only included if they had >12 follicles in one ovary or 2 of the 4 criteria: irregular menstrual cycles, polycystic ovaries, hyperandrogenism, and chronic anovulation [ 13].
Exclusion criteria were irregular breathing patterns or excessive movement during the experiment.
Additional criteria were irregular borders of the lesion and low signal intensity in the T2-weighted images.
It has been shown that the presence of EMVI can be assessed on MRI based on the presence of tumoural signal intensity within vessels surrounding the rectum, or the presence of a nodular expansion or irregular vessel contour as criteria [24].
Cirrhosis was diagnosed by ultrasound (using standard criteria, including: coarse echotexture, irregular surface, blunt edge, hypertrophic left lobe, splenomegaly), endoscopy (esophageal or gastric varices), or liver biopsy.
Lesions should be characterised by the diagnostic criteria, margins (circumscribed, irregular, spiculated; the latter also referred to as the root sign), SI-time curve type, internal enhancement pattern, and oedema.
Concerning nodes with a short axis between 5 mm and 9 mm or less than 5 mm, the final decision should be taken according to the morphological criteria (round shape, irregular border and heterogeneous signal).
Exclusion criteria were 1) irregular heart rates; 2) contraindications to cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) such as MR-incompatible implants; 3) known independent left-sided cardiac disease unrelated to PA hypertension; 4) clinically significant restrictive or obstructive lung disease identified by pulmonary function tests; or 5) pregnancy.
Criteria for PCOS included irregular periods with cycle length >35 days during the last year, free testosterone level above reference interval (>0.035 nmol/l), and/or hirsutism (total Ferriman-Gallwey score>7) [7].
