forest types mapping, is one of the most necessary elements in the forest management and silviculture treatments. traditional methods such as field surveys are almost time-consuming and cost-intensive. improvements in remote sensing data sources and classification –estimation methods are preparing new opportunities for obtaining more accurate forest biophysical attributes maps. this research co...

results thirty-four patients were hyperglycemic and 127 non diabetic. sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of fdg-pet/ct were 90%, 88%, 87% and 91% in non diabetic and 82%, 92%, 95% and 73% in hyperglycemic patients, respectively. overall, the accuracy was higher in non diabetic than hyperglycemic patients (89% vs. 85%). conclusions accuracy of fdg-p...

frozen section and touch imprint cytology are important diagnostic procedures for surgeons during operation and must be accurate if the patient is to receive maximum benefit. to assess the accuracy of intraoperative pathologic consultation including frozen section and touch imprint cytology during a five year period (1995- 2000), a retrospective survey of 1000 consecutive cases of frozen sectio...

introduction: screening of patients with anterior abdominal penetrating trauma in need for laparotomy is an important issue in management of these cases. this study aimed to compare the accuracy of abdominal wall ultrasonography (awu) and local wound exploration (lwe) in this regard. methods: this diagnostic accuracy study was conducted on ≥ 18 year-old patients presenting to emergency departme...

Background and Objective: Intraoperative consultation by frozen section is a high – risk procedure with important consequences. Therefore, it is critical to determine efficiency of frozen section performance periodically. This study was performed to determine the accuracy of frozen section in Urmia University of Medical Sciences. Materials & Methods:Inthis cross sectional study, we compared th...
