To determine the maximal diameter of the artery, the end-diastolic diameter (length from one side of the media adventitia interface to the other side) coincident with the R-wave on a monitoring electrocardiogram was continuously measured from 30 s before nitrate administration to 10 min after administration.
Unfortunately, it is not feasible to use such large nanoshells in photothermal therapy, as they exceed the maximal diameter of the capillaries surrounding the tissue and cannot be efficiently delivered to tumors [ 48].
In addition, the maximal diameter of the lesion was recorded from the CT data, while the corresponding MRI section was utilized in an attempt to identify the heterogeneous tissue types, such as a fibrous or fluid-filled cavity, that appeared within the lesion space.
Tumor size was estimated by measuring the maximal diameter of the invasive component of the tumor.
†This variable represents the maximal diameter of the largest solid component divided by the maximal diameter of the lesion (range 0%to100%0%), with 0% indicating that there is no solid tissue and 100% indicating that the maximal diameter of the largest solid component equals the maximal diameter of the lesion.
While many studies have focused on the maximal diameter of the metastatic tumor deposit 22, 23 we investigated the microanatomic location and the penetrative depth of the metastatic deposits as a putative predictor of non-SN involvement.
When the maximal diameter of the subcutaneous tumors was approximately 5 mm, the tumor were injected twice a week for 2 weeks with 2 × 10 pfu/50 µL of G47Δ or virus buffer (150 mmol/L NaCl and 20 mmol/L Tris at pH 7.5) as control.
The tumor size was defined as the maximal diameter of the tumor recorded during each imaging procedure.
To clarify the occurrence of cardiac events based on the maximal diameter of the maximal coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) in Kawasaki disease (KD).
Lesions were measured at the multiplanar reformatted (MPR) setting that showed the maximal diameter of the detected lesion.
Whether the traditional HJ or the new designed procedure HJPBD was performed was dependent on the maximal diameter of the upper segments of bile duct strictures.
