Sentence examples for surface delineation from inspiring English sources

Nevertheless, the role of US has been significantly boosted by the introduction of US contrast media and recent evidence concludes that contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) contributes significantly to the characterisation of carotid plaques, in terms of both surface delineation (ulcer detection and characterisation) and internal structure (visualisation of intraplaque neovascularisation) [13, 14].

The pulmonary volumes were calculated on the CT scan by manual surface delineation of pulmonary tissue on the transverse slices multiplied by slice thickness.

This step included a visual inspection of the computer generated lines for delineation of the cortical region segmentation in all slices, making minor manual corrections to any deviations from accurate periosteal or endosteal surface delineation.

Radiologic findings may show consistent growth of exostoses after closure of the growth plate, alterations in surface delineation in comparison with previous radiographic studies, internal lytic areas, erosion or destruction of adjacent bones, and the presence of soft tissue masses containing scattered or irregular calcifications [ 15, 16].
