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.
BMC Medical Imaging 2009, 9 :2
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.
