Rationale And Objectives: The authors performed this study to evaluate whether digitally photographed, computer-annotated MR images produced by clinical radiologists and printed with an inexpensive photo printer are suitable for publication.
Materials And Methods: Laser prints of 20 magnetic resonance images of the brain were photographed with a 3-megapixel digital camera and annotated with arrows, arrowheads, and asterisks by using graphics software that incorporates vector support. Then, 5 x 7-inch glossy prints with white borders were made by using an inexpensive photo printer. These prints were compared with those produced of the same 20 images by members of the medical center's graphics department with professional scanning and printing equipment and annotated with conventional rub-on symbols. Eight radiologists evaluated image and annotation quality and overall suitability for publication.
Results: In all three categories, the images produced by radiologists outscored those produced by the graphics department.
Conclusion: Digitally photographed, software-annotated MR images printed with an inexpensive photo printer are suitable for publication.

Measures of organismal fitness must take into account reproductive output and survivorship across life-history stages. In , a laboratory model system, these traits are often quantified with egg-laying assays and egg-to-adult viability. While several protocols for automated egg counting exist, these methods typically preclude directly analyzing phenotypic distributions in resulting adults.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate, through cheiloscopic analysis, the impact of hyaluronic acid (HA) lip augmentation on lip impressions. Eleven patients underwent HA injections and had their lips analyzed for thickness, morphological classification, commissure position, and lip impression types at three time points: before treatment (T1), one month after (T2), and three months after (T3). Lip thickness was measured using a digital caliper, and commissure position was classified based on standardized digital photographs.

Accurate classification of lung lesions at necropsy is crucial for guiding the diagnostic process and ensuring effective management of porcine respiratory diseases. Post-mortem inspection of the lungs during slaughter also provides valuable insights into disease occurrence, offering useful feedback on the efficacy of on-farm prevention and control strategies. However, manual assessment protocols may be impaired by high slaughtering speeds and low inter-rater agreement, which limits continuous data collection and hinders comparability.

Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a PEEK (polyether-ether-ketone) ultrasonic tip in the cleaning around implant-supported restorations and to evaluate the effect of different cement types on the amount of residual cement at the restoration margins.Materials and methods A master model with an implant analogue placed in the upper left first premolar region was used to create 72 cast models and zirconia crowns were fabricated for each model. A total of 72 zirconia crowns were divided into two main groups based on the cleaning method applied after cementation.

It is important to clarify the factors that cause errors when calculating nutrient and food group intake using dietary surveys. This study aimed to clarify the characteristics of errors in nutrient and food group intake among those who ate out and those who consumed ready-made meals when they recorded their meals using photographic and weighing methods. In October 2020, 38 second- and third-year students who were enrolled in dietitian training programs at two Japanese universities were asked to record their meals using both photographic and weighed records.
