Also, previous test-retest [11C]flumazenil studies show no influence of the first scan on the second scan [15].
The study findings will make it harder for insurance companies to refuse to pay for such scans of the second breast in women with breast cancer, said Dr. Etta D. Pisano, another author of the study and a professor of radiology at the University of North Carolina.
We had only one measurement of the male gallbladder as the top slices of the abdomen were not captured in the PET scan of the second male macaque.
The scan of the second spider, which was fixed 9 days after ecdysis, reveals a lens that has clearly increased in size compared to the cornea, and that now fills out more than the corneal cap.
A rigid transformation (as expressed below) can now be used to align the B f-scans of one dataset with the B s-scans of the second.
CRC analysed the CT scans of the second cohort and ran the QTL analyses, was responsible for the data assembly, phenotypic analysis, contributed to genotyping and preparing the manuscript.
The curvature and tilt artifacts associated with the B f-scans are far easier to correct than the rapid variations seen in the B s-scans, thus, the B f-scans from one artifact corrected dataset can be used quantitatively to validate the ability of the proposed method to correct artifacts in the B s-scans of the second dataset.
The intra-observer reliability was obtained from two readings, at the beginning and the end of the scan, on the first 33 recordings of the resistance and pulsatility indices in the uterine arteries.
The first scan was obtained in the absence of pharmacological intervention (baseline scan), on the first day of the study (D1).
The second metatarsal is a common site for the development of insufficiency fractures, and as such the aim of this study was to assess the reproducibility of a novel scanning protocol of the second metatarsal using pQCT.
