aMarkers used in the genome scan Challenge-tested fry, full-sibs of the post-smolts used for the genome scan, were genotyped to investigate whether the QTL had the same effect at the fry stage as at the post-smolt stage, the disease causing mortalities at these two quite different life stages.
Although CT scanning presents challenges (lack of uniformity of scanner technical characteristics, scanning protocols, radiation dosing, scoring of emphysema severity/distribution, etc)., computerized approaches to process and analyze chest CT scans may be useful in harmonizing CT scan data, and will likely assist in refinement of COPD subtypes.
ALS Scan also challenges the district court's refusal to have allowed it to engage in discovery before ruling on the jurisdictional issue.
However, characterizing ground layers with MA-XRF scanning is challenging as the emitted fluorescence signal from priming materials is usually significantly attenuated by the superimposed layers.
Although RG has been successful with the segmentation of the normal lungs in both human and small animal studies, pathological lung tissue caused by pulmonary infections can make automatic lung segmentation from CT scans very challenging.
All participants underwent a standard evaluation with full pulmonary function studies, high resolution chest CT scans, methacholine challenge testing and other testing such as laryngoscopy or cardiopulmonary exercise testing as clinically appropriate.
However, teaching ultrasound, especially transvaginal scanning, remains a challenge for health professionals.
In addition, indexing subtle metrics, such as response time, in the scanning environment is challenging.
Contact-free scanning is a challenge for biological imaging, because at the edge of cells, the slope can become very high, essentially vertical.
The rising incidence of incidental thyroid carcinoma (ITC) detected during fluoro-2-deoxy d-glucose (FDG -positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scanning poses a challenge to clinicians.
