And it hasn't eradicated crime; in fact, there's been anecdotal suggestions ID scanning drives potential criminal behaviour out of its usual haunts and into new venues further afield.
Unexpected finds — which the medical community has labeled "incidentalomas" — are ever more common because of an increase in scans, driven in part by legal concerns.
Expensive image: PET scans drive up health-care costs.
High demand for the short-lived medical isotopes used in PE tomography scanning has driven down the cost of hospital-based ion accelerators.
The x-scanner (fast B-scan) was driven with a saw tooth waveform and the y-scanner (slow C-scan) was driven with a step function waveform.
Although the match will be remembered for his magnificent 355 not out on days two and three, he was only a spectator as Surrey tried to dismiss Leicestershire's lower order after undergoing a precautionary scan, having driven himself to hospital.
For example, the resonant frequencies of the two orthogonal channels differ because of the inhomogeneous geometry of the fiber, which produces a cylindrical scan when driven by equal voltages in the two channels, as shown in Fig. 6(a) [ 14].
An analogue 15″ x-y-z display was used for stimulus presentation (Hewlett Packard model 1310, i.e. a CRT-display without a raster-scan generator), driven by a temporary buffer that stores the point coordinates and generates the control voltages for the display ("point plot buffer"; G. Finlay, Edmonton, Canada).
The scanning process drives the user to a specific task on their phone -- opening a website, sending a pre-formatted text or email message, calling a phone number, or downloading an app.
Routinely ordering X-rays and CT or M.R.I. scans drives up health care costs, and does not help resolve the problem, the college's "best practice advice" guidelines say.
