And one modality could have a constitutive rather than a merely causal impact upon processes and experiences associated with another.
The two items of a unidominant pair, while having the same dominant modality, could have very different scores on the remaining modalities, rendering them very dissimilar.
In some instances no imaging test is warranted at all, but more often are the situations where an alternative modality could have been utilised with lower or no radiation burden such as ultrasound, a plain radiograph or, MRI imaging.
It is arguable, however, that conventional MRI at higher fields, with cardiorespiratory gating, allows a more accurate assessment of joints by providing better spatial resolution than whole-body MRI, and the selection of this modality could have led to the inclusion of false positive lesions.
With the 2010 modalities, we could have reached an ICC of 0.80 with 16 single rater stations ($570 per candidate).
The patient received no anticoagulation therapy (specifically no low molecular weight heparin), no platelet inhibitors or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications and no treatment modalities which could have potentially contributed to a coagulation disorder.
First, the field is typically concerned with investigating (i) alethic modality (modality concerned with what could have been true), as opposed to epistemic modality (modality concerned with what might be true in an epistemic sense of "might") or deontic modality (modality concerned with what might be done in some normative or evaluative sense).
Similarly, the patients were studied under a triggered NIV modality: controlled mechanical ventilation could have resulted in a larger reduction of REE.
The primary analysis examined patients based on the initial RRT modality received; however, we recognized that patients could have been treated with both modalities, which would bias our results towards the null hypothesis (or no effect).
Conversely, the two items of a bidominant pair could have very similar modality profiles, while their dominant modalities differ by a very small margin.
