However this diagnostic modality is useful in the patient undergoing surgical repair.

Hence, histopathology serves as the best diagnostic modality for this differentiation.

Magnetic resonance imaging is the diagnostic modality of choice.

Only prospective studies comparing CE with another additional diagnostic modality were included in the final analysis.

MRI is the most sensitive diagnostic modality, with specific imaging findings dependent on the timing post-hemorrhage.

No single diagnostic modality is suitable for detection of B. burgdorferi in every patient with erythema migrans.

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a relatively noninvasive and highly valuable diagnostic modality to monitor cardiac surgery.

Multidetector CTA has to be regarded as a safe and reliable diagnostic modality in the evaluation of carotid dissections.

Conclusions: IOUS should be used as routine diagnostic modality in colorectal cancer patients with hepatic metastases or suspected metastases.

Over 30% of all observed MSAs had at least one claim for MRI as a diagnostic modality in CTS.

Conclusions: Our results indicate that performing CEUS seems to be a sensitive additional diagnostic modality in the early assessment of muscle injuries.

Performance characteristics for each diagnostic modality were calculated on the basis of clinicopathologic follow-up and compared in a receiver operating characteristic analysis.

Background: In recent years there has been an increasing interest in MRI as a non-invasive diagnostic modality for the work-up of suspicious breast lesions.

MR imaging is a valuable diagnostic modality that allows diagnosis of injury in horses with lameness localized to the proximal metacarpal and metatarsal regions.

Here, we uniformly used the new diagnostic modality to study all men, each with clinically significant cancer, at baseline and at short and intermediate-term followup.

In our point of view, this percentage is too high to rely only on this diagnostic modality to support a "wait and see" approach.
