This buzzword means nothing more specific than "some clever use of data". It doesn't necessarily refer to any particular technology, method, or value proposition.
Our results indicate that the concentration of iCa measured in post filter samples differ considerably among the instruments as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3. Presently available technology does not allow defining a reference method or value under post filter measuring conditions.
We do not recommend adoption of these methods or reference values until further research has increased the pool of normative data and the new data is found to be consistent with our estimates.
Because of the overall uncertainties in the dose estimates as well as in the validation measurements, the validation process usually provides only an indication of substantial flaws in the primary measurement methods or parameter values (when models are used) used for dose reconstruction.
The following factors were associated with lower strength of concordance (only for one or two methods or P value greater than 0.01): male gender, BMI greater than 30 kg/m2, higher weight, abdominal fold >30 mm, thoracic fold >15 mm, higher waist circumference in male, African ethnic origin, and non-elevated ALT values.
28, 29 Yet there is still no standardized method or standardized values for the evaluation of osteoporosis with CBCT.
The algorithm is tested comparing the results with those obtained by other methods or with the values previously known.
The size of a primary tumor is regarded as a fundamental parameter for staging solid tumors, but there has been no proven standard method or cutoff value with high performance for predicting prognosis in bone sarcomas.
However, they do not indicate the presence of practical decision support tools, such as methods for evaluating women's understanding of the information about the test and of options and outcomes, or values clarification methods, both of which are additional important elements of effective DAs [ 28, 29].
Uncertainties can, for example, be quantitative or qualitative; reducible or permanent; dependent on different measurement methods or on different personal values held by the scientists.
