While the Framework Method is amenable to the participation of non-experts in data analysis, it is critical to the successful use of the method that an experienced qualitative researcher leads the project (even if the overall lead for a large mixed methods study is a different person).
Strengths of our study included the randomized design, the use of a validated method and an experienced reader to assess mammographic density.
However, the quantitative MD estimates, such as the planimetry method, require an experienced reader with ongoing training, evaluation, quality control, and standardization across sites.
Although Nugent's criterion is considered as the gold standard for the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis (BV), the method requires an experienced slide reader and considerable time and skill.
Based on holo-extraction of information from paper drawings, this paper develops a systematic 3D reconstruction method, which simulates an experienced human designer's thinking mode in transforming inaccurate outlines with inaccurate projection relationships in 2D drawings into 3D image, with the aid of Genetic Algorithms.
Annual radiographs of the hands and feet were taken during a mean follow-up period of 5 years (minimum, 0; maximum, 14 years) and scored according to the Sharp-van der Heijde method (SHS) by an experienced reader.
This is in contrast to a direct authorship of the query code method employed by an experienced programmer who uses the same underlying query language as the GUI tool, however, is able to overcome some of the restricted widget set problems.
Protein expression was evaluated according to the scoring method described above by an experienced gastro-intestinal pathologist (E.K).
The required planes are provided in a non-flexible way since planes are pre-defined and independent of the examiner, a disadvantage that could potentially impair the diagnostic accuracy of the method in the absence of an experienced radiologist.
This method demands regular practice and an experienced researcher or clinician [ 16].
