There is no waste of capacity since other CT scans for other clinical reasons are actually performed in the place of those chest CT scans considered not necessary because of DTS.
We calculated sensitivity [the percentage of scans considered as characteristic (positive) of sCJD in cases] and specificity [the percentage of scans considered as not characteristic (negative) of sCJD in controls] for several criteria patterns involving different combinations of affected regions and MRI sequences.
The methodology includes the comparison of two scanning technologies, laser scanning and contact scanning, considering the latter one as the reference system.
The generic detection criteria in deciding whether a PU is present or not for the m th scan, considering the sensing noise as well as the linear spectrum scanning process of the CR, is then given by, (6).
Figure 1A contains a heat map of the LOD scores from a single-QTL genome scan, considering each time point individually.
The distance matrix is scanned considering the cutoff range and cutoff step generating a cumulative distribution of the distances by atomic category.
The number of expected eQTLs was estimated from a whole-genome scan considering the fraction of genes in each functional category GO terms showing a significant directional allelic effect.
This description of the thermal scan considers both primary crystals, secondary crystals, and recrystallization during the heating scan.
Frequent computer tomography scanning, considered the gold standard for quantifying lung aeration, however, could not be performed for obvious reasons [ 37].
For all cancers combined, the IRR in the exposed group versus the unexposed group was significantly increased (P<0.05) for every anatomical site of CT scan considered (fig 3).
In contrast, CT findings were not suitable for prediction of overall survival or the time to progression, because in only two patients was the first follow-up CT scan considered to be normal (p=0.469 and 0.030; log rank test p=0.706).
