The gold standard of evaluating the quality of bone regeneration is "Healing Index" (HI) [ 7, 14].
Therefore, we hypothesized that LUS can be used to reliably measure EVLW in rats, as compared to the gold standard of evaluating EVLW by gravimetric assessment of the lungs post-mortem [ 8].
Assays performed include colony forming efficiency, CD146 expression, gene expression profiling, and the "gold standard" of evaluating bone and myelosupportive stroma formation in vivo in immuncompromised recipients.
Dose-volume constraints (DVCs) expressed as a percentage of the prescription dose are a natural way to specify the objective and have been the standard way of evaluating the treatment in practice.
However, the rating procedure, which is the standard way of evaluating test-retest performance with the MFNU [ 5], was chosen to make an evaluation of changes in performance both across categories and within the same category possible.
