UNLABELLED Few studies assess repeatability and reproducibility in registers of resonance frequency analysis (a value of dental implant stability). OBJECTIVE Few studies assess repeatability and reproducibility in resonance frequency analyses (implant stability evaluation). This study is aimed at assessing reliability (repeatabilty and reproducibility) in the Osstell Mentor® system using the ...

introduction: nowadays new radiochromic films have an essential role in radiotherapy dosimetry. properties such as high sensitivity, good reproducibility, high spatial resolution, easy readout and portability have made them attractive for dosimetry, especially in high-dose-gradient regions. material and methods: in this study, electron-beam dose distributions in homogenous and heterogeneous pha...

OBJECTIVE To assess the stability and reproducibility of computerised QT dispersion (QTd) measurement in healthy subjects, as this is presently being incorporated into commercial electrocardiographic systems. METHODS 70 healthy volunteers (mean (SD) age 38 (10) years, 35 men, 35 women) with a normal 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG) were studied. From each subject, 70 ECG recordings were taken ...

statement of problem: digital subtraction radiography (dsr) needs reproducible alignment between the x-ray source, the object, and the film for obtaining identical projections of the same anatomic region. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of bite registrations (placed on individual bite blocks) on the reproducibility of parallel periapical radiographs, obtained every 2 m...

AIMS To evaluate the reproducibility of the retardation values (change in polarisation) obtained with the scanning-laser polarimeter in a series of normal subjects and glaucoma patients. To improve the analysis of the raw data by devising and evaluating a blood vessel removal algorithm. METHODS Scanning laser polarimetry was performed on 10 normal subjects and 10 glaucoma patients. A series o...

Purpose. To assess the repeatability and reproducibility of ocular biometry and intraocular lens (IOL) power measurements obtained by ophthalmology residents using an AL-Scan device, a novel optical biometer. Methods. Two ophthalmology residents were instructed regarding the AL-Scan device. Both performed ocular biometry and IOL power measurements using AL-Scan, three times on each of 128 eyes,...
