Colonoscopy is traditionally considered the optimal examination for the detection of polyps and colorectal cancer.
A minimal functional cervical length of approximately 15 mm (which conformed to the vaginal probe dimensions) was required to provide a sufficient cervical surface for an optimal examination.
A number of studies have tried, however, to address the question of optimal histopathologic examination of sentinel lymph nodes by comparison of different protocols performed on the same sample.
In the majority of patients a marker was placed in the tumor for surgical detection and for optimal pathological examination of the tumor area in the surgical specimen after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
The choice to use the 2 h p.i. [F]FMISO-PET images was made for the evaluation of the tracer uptake, because this time point has been shown to be optimal for the examination of [F]FMISO uptake in tumours both in animal models (Kubota et al, 1999; Tochon-Danguy et al, 2002) and in humans (Koh et al, 1992; Valk et al, 1992).
Optimal resources for ultrasonic examination of the heart.
This sub-optimal performance in virological examination of stool specimens from AFP cases potentially compromises the sensitivity of Australia's surveillance to detect an imported case of polio and to exclude poliovirus infection [ 10].
Additionally, examination of the optimal material coefficients and the experimental data permitted quantification of the mechanical differences between human and murine skin.
Examination of the optimal layouts reveals that the patches tend to increase their coverage in the axial direction and distribute over the whole surface of the cylindrical shell for optimal SVD reduction.
Examination of the optimal design solution from PBMO with those from the ESTCP study demonstrates its effectiveness.
