BMC Medical Imaging 2009, 9:6
A variation of the principal component analysis, masked volume wise-PCA, reduces statistical noise and improves contrast, which may improve the precision of positron emission tomography measurements in tumor delineation.

No gender differences in left ventricular mass, volume or function are observed in the hearts of young individuals, but marked differences appear later on in life, indicating that age- and gender-specific standard values are needed for clinical interventions.
