The dataset presented here shows that earthworms constitute suitable candidates for μCT scanning in combination with soft tissue staining.
The ETL we used offers fast axial scanning in combination with a large aperture and allows accurate focusing for in vivo imaging over thousands of repetitions.
Although this would reduce the data processing time, it would not affect the scanning protocol, as for both parameters a dynamic [O]H2O PET scan in combination with a low-dose CT scan are required.
A recent report addressed an approximately 20% diagnostic gain with consecutive improved patient selection through better preoperative staging by positron emission tomography (PET) scan in combination with high resolution multislice CT scanning [ 18].
In contrast, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), as an easily available clinical imaging modality developed since the late 1990s, offers an efficient non-invasive scanning in combination with higher spatial resolution, reduced radiation dose and scan costs.
The initial cerebral computed tomography (CT) scan in combination with CT angiography did not reveal any pathologies and, to exclude an infectious origin for the central nervous system dysfunction, a lumbar puncture was carried out yielding normal cerebrospinal fluid.
In cases of neurologic or neuromonitoring parameter deterioration, a CAT scan in combination with perfusion CT was performed to rule out causes other than vasospasm and to detect areas of reduced or delayed cerebral perfusion and blood flow or manifested ischemic areas marked as infarctions already.
Progressive growth on repeated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or CT scans, especially in combination with increased carcino-embryonic antigen level or positive positron emission tomography (PET), was sometimes considered as sufficient evidence for the diagnosis of a local recurrence.
Full-disk images of the planet are obtained by means of a single-axis scanning mirror in combination with the spin of the MMO spacecraft.
Alanine scanning mutagenesis in combination with a series of engineered polyhistidine peptides elucidated a direct relationship between histidine number and binding strength, which appeared to be further modulated by arginine and basic residues.
