Catchment-scale Richards equation-based modeling of evapotranspiration via boundary condition switching and root water uptake schemes [PDF]
, 2015 In arid and semiarid climate catchments, where annual evapotranspiration (ET) and rainfall are typically comparable, modeling ET is important for proper assessment of water availability and sustainable land use management. The aim of the present study is

Imaging characteristics of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary nodules
Romanian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2021 Introduction. Nontuberculous mycobacteriosis (NTM) of the lungs can develop nodules. In order to clarify some of the characteristics of lung NTM nodules, we examined volume doubling time (VDT) and maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) in positron ...

Focal colorectal uptake in 18FDG-PET/CT: maximum standard uptake value as a trigger in a semi-automated screening setting [PDF]
European Journal of Medical Research, 2016 Focal colorectal uptake in (18)FDG-PET/CT may be associated with a malignancy and can be quantified. This provides the basis for an automatic trigger threshold above which cases are flagged for colonoscopic evaluation and below which for individual assessment.To determine the lowest maximum standard uptake (SUVmax) in colorectal cancer that could be ...
