In addition, the following hypotheses were investigated: a) counties with low use of one modality for examination of specific organs (locations) have correspondingly high use of other modalities, b) private institutions contribute to geographical variation, and geographical variation in examination rates is influenced by c) different aspects of accessibility and d) socioeconomic factors.
In addition to anamnesis, the initial point of a radiological diagnosis is the examination image created by an imaging modality for medical examination.
MR enteroclysis may be considered as the best radiologic modality for the examination of the small bowel and should be recommended for the initial investigation in patients suspected of having a small bowel tumour.
The compatibility of the technology with most other radiologic imaging techniques allows the creation of combined modalities for simultaneous breast examinations that yield a superior feature set.
However, the results showed a relatively high positive correlation between the uses of different modalities for specific organs of examination, as shown in Table 3.
Mammographic screening, physical examination and self examination are the main modalities for breast cancer detection today, but only mammography screening has been shown to reduce mortality.
For examination of specific organs, the counties' use of one modality was positively correlated with the use of other modalities.
The use of imaging modalities varies depending on the pathology, but the superficial location of the Achilles tendon makes it a particularly attractive tendon for examination with ultrasound.
The purpose of study was to identify the efficacy of real-time dual examination of two different modalities for the evaluation of vocal fold vibration in human subjects and vocal fold vibration simulator.
In this pilot study, we compared two clinical skills teaching modalities, peer examination and examination using SimMan.
Currently there are four possible breast screening modalities: clinical examination, mammography, ultrasound and MRI.
