The equipment can reveal whether trainees are scanning gauges in the right sequence, or skipping one altogether.
Scanning gauges, altimeters and air-speed indicators, she flipped switches and ticked off a list of checks and rechecks with Steve Campbell, her instructor.
Following intraoperative chest or abdominal CT scan, a 17-gauge, cooled-tip electrode (Cool-Tip system; Valleylab, MA, USA) was inserted into the tumor at a specific angle step by step.
My oncology team needed the PET Scan to not only gauge where the cancer may have spread but, more importantly, to indicate where to perform a tissue biopsy.
Scan the room to gauge energy and attention span.
The phase composition, roughness, thickness, surface morphology and cross-sectional microstructure of the coating were assessed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical profilometer, eddy current thickness gauge and scanning electron microscope (SEM).
Pete still seeks approval from people -- note how he keeps scanning the crowd to gauge reactions -- but he's actually successful at it now.
For validation the corrected 1.5° elevation scans are compared to surface rain gauge observations and lower elevation scans over the course of 7 events.
Respiratory movements were recorded continuously 2 min before, and during each scan, by using a strain gauge around the lower thorax connected to a graph (Comair, Stockholm, Sweden) as described previously [9].
Participants (age ≥70 years) underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scanning to ascertain muscle and fat mass, tests of quadriceps strength, computed tomography scanning of the quadriceps to gauge muscle lipid content, and fasting insulin and glucose level measurements from which homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was derived.
