and no limiting constraints are imposed on the image content of the modalities involved. The accuracy of the MI criterion is validated for rigid body registration of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR), and photon emission tomography (PET) images by comparison with the stereotactic registration

Background and Objectives:We evaluated the infusion accuracy and device-related safety of implantable drug infusion pumps in subjects with chronic pain or severe spasticity. Methods: Nine centers in the United States enrolled patients receiving in-trathecal drug delivery systems to manage chronic

on pregnant women by means of no age limit. Since the EIT has play some supplementary function in the breast imaging, a lot of research on its clinical accuracy has been done. Therefore, the aim is to carry out a review of EIT clinical accuracy and assess the quality of journal by using Quality Assessment

Abstract. Prostate cancer is a major health threat for men. For over five years, the U.S. National Cancer Institute has performed prostate biopsies with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided robotic sys-tem. Purpose: A retrospective evaluation methodology and analysis of the clinical accuracy

OBJECTIVE — To compare the clinical accuracy of two different continuous glucose sensors (CGS) during euglycemia and hypoglycemia using continuous glucose–error grid analysis

Method: Clinical accuracy for fingertip capillary blood testing was assessed at three diabetes clinics with three lots of FreeStyle Lite test strips. At the same clinics, lay user performance and alternative site testing (on forearm, upper arm, palm thenar, palm hypothenar, back of the hand, calf

A meta-analysis was conducted on the accuracy of predictions of various objective outcomes in the areas of social and clinical psychology from short observations of expressive behavior (under 5 min). The overall effect size (/) for the accuracy of predictions for 38 different results was.39

Results: The cases were divided into two groups; the under-diagnosed group (30
