Computed tomography (CT, or "CAT scan") can be useful in particular situations.
Nevertheless, knowledge of the effect sizes of the SNPs found in a scan can be useful, for example in designing replication studies with appropriate sample sizes [ Yu et al., 2007].
These scanning modalities can be useful in the targeted drug delivery and thus improved therapeutic outcomes.
Using a time-difference radioisotope uptake technique, a triple-phase bone scanning protocol can be useful for diagnosing periprosthetic infection with a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 90% (Nagoya et al. 2008).
CSF pressures correlated strongly with the severity of brain swelling identified by CT scan, which can be useful in settings where access to CT scanning is limited.
The extent of choroidal thickening by inflammatory infiltrate in sympathetic ophthalmia can be visualized through B-scan ultrasonography and can be useful in differentiating sympathetic ophthalmia from bilateral phacoanaphylactic endophthalmitis [67].
Additional CT scans or scans from other anatomic modalities can be useful in particular for the localization of activity in unknown internal structures such as a tumour.
This not only contains intensity data, but also the meta information such as scan date that are not routinely extracted and can be useful for detecting batch effects.
Initially developed for mutation scanning and genotyping studies [ 8- 12], high-resolution melting technology can be useful for the detection of methylation as well.
We conclude that a mock MRI scanner training protocol can be useful to prepare children for a diagnostic MRI scan.
