Due to its high density, calcium may alter the HU correction process creating artefacts when attenuation corrected PET-CT images are fused and SUVs measured.
From a service engineering perspective, the outcomes of this process are artefacts that automatically support consistency among design steps and effective integration of customer experience and stakeholder requirements through iterative cycles related to service design.
In this paper we outline a theoretical framework to interpret the complex relationships between organizational processes and artefacts.
In spite of these processes, the artefacts remained unimpaired in their relative horizontal positions, enabling spatial analyses, which show a zonal differentiation and a prevalence of retooling and replacing activities.
Data collection and analysis consisted of multi-method qualitative research including individual and focus group interviews [ 26], process maps, artefact analyses [ 10– 12], and Ishikawa diagrams [ 27] (Table 1).
The system uses median filtering, which is an effective non-linear, digital filtering process to eliminate artefacts from a signal.
The system uses median filtering at 1-minute intervals, which is an effective nonlinear, digital filtering process to eliminate artefacts due to a signal [ 12].
The concept of domestication of technology concerns the process through which artefacts are appropriated and re-embedded in a local context when it is put to use [ 33].
In quality improvement work, process maps are artefacts that assist workers to identify areas to intervene to improve safety and quality, a task that involves examining the process from a new perspective in order to discover where the greatest risks exist.
Hence, a new method was proposed in this article, which was based on the CNC gear measuring center, aimed at the gear artefacts processed by the five-axis machining center.
The input data, whether entered manually by the clinician or captured by a medical device, needs to be processed to discard artefacts and to be clinically relevant before being sent to the control unit [21].
