The definition of disc degeneration as seen on MRI was: Reduced disc height (grade 2 or 3) or disc signal grade 3 [ 60, 61].
The semiquantitative findings of PDUS activity for synovitis were scored as follows: Grade 0 = no intraarticular color signal, grade 1 = up to 3 color signals representing only low flow, grade 2 = greater than grade 1 to < 50% of the intraarticular area filled with color signals representing clear flow, grade 3 = > 50% of the intraarticular area filled with color signals [ 1].
Furthermore, they graded tendon and tendon-sheath tissue vascularity as follows: grade 0, no detectable PDUS signal; grade 1, mild vascularity (≤30% of synovial proliferations area); grade 2, moderate vascularity (≤60% of synovial proliferations area); and grade 3, severe vascularity (>60% of synovial proliferations area).

Serotonergic neuron background firing rates signal graded value.
These results are consistent with a model in which calcium events evoked by relatively weak sensory stimulation comprise a constant CF-triggered signal that adds linearly with a non-CF signal graded according to the strength of the stimulus.
C, GSUS: Hypoechogeneity; PDUS: grade 0, no flow signal in the synovium; grade 1, separate dot signals or short linear signals; grade 2, clearly discernible vascularity with either many small vessels or several long vessels with or without visible branching, though involving less than half the area of the synovium; grade 3, vessels involving more than half the area of the synovium.
As well as the presentation of discrete signals, graded biochemical signaling cues are essential for many biological processes, and can be used to screen the effects of various morphogens rapidly, over a wide range of concentrations.
Of course this news just predates the new chairman's arrival, so the appointment of the new director general will be the first signal of Grade's intentions.
On the other hand, synovial PD signal was graded as a PD score on a scale of 0 to 3 (grade 0, normal; grade 1, mild; grade 2, moderate; grade 3, severe) based on the rater's impression of how widespread the abnormal synovial PD signals within the synovial hypertrophy were.
In the present study, the percentages of the signal intensity of grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3 cartilage to grade 0 cartilage were 48% (0.84 versus 1.74), 43% (0.75 versus 1.74) and 30% (0.53 versus 1.74), respectively.
Because the low signal intensities of grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3 cartilage (48%, 43% and 30% of that of grade 0 cartilage, respectively) decreased earlier with a shorter time than that of grade 0 cartilage, detection of irregularity of grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3 cartilage using echo duration might be limited.
