MAS. All images assessed were reconstructed on a sharp (B60) algorithm (Siemens). All dogs had been positioned in sternal recumbency, with the limb of interest extended, ensuring there was no supination or pronation of the elbow. For each elbow three dimensional multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) views were created using OsiriX (version 5.6 32-bit, Pixmeo, Geneva) open source DICOM viewer, permitting transverse, dorsal and sagittal images to be viewed concurrently. Repeatable slice alignment was achieved by aligning slices with the caudal cortex of the ulna in the sagittal view and lateral aspect of the ulna in the dorsal view (Fig 1). Once the alignment was complete, the sagittal view was used to center the image on the most cranial part of the proximal ulna, immediately distal to the humeral condyle resulting in a repeatable standardised transverse image through the apex of the MCP. The transverse plane was chosen as the medial coronoid process is best defined in this plane (Xxxxxxx 1999). A window width of 3500 HU as previously recommended (Xxxxxxxx et al. 2007) and window level of 700 HU were used. A single transverse image for each elbow was archived as a JPEG file. Experiment 1: To assess inter- and intraobserver variability in the measurement of sclerosis percentage Four board certified orthopaedic surgeons, two board certified radiologists, one diagnostic imaging resident and one surgical resident reviewed individually a single transverse CT image of the ulna at the level of the medial coronoid process from each elbow included in the study. All except one of the observers had been working together in the same institution for at least six months prior to the study. Each observer was asked to draw a line on the transverse CT image representing where, if present, they considered the junction between the normal and the sclerotic trabecular bone pattern to be delineated. This measurement was made on each transverse CT image by the eight observers twice (separated by 4 weeks). A single observer (XX) then used a sclerometer to quantify, as a percentage, the position of the observer’s line demarcating the transition between normal and sclerotic trabecular bone. The use of a sclerometer was firstly reported by Xxxxx et al. (2009) who applied the technique to quantify ulna sclerosis on lateral radiographs of the elbow from dogs with MCPD. Here, we applied the instrument to transverse CT images of the ulna at the level of the MCP. The sclerometer (Fig 2A) was superi...
MAS place, the Local Union shall be provided with a copy of the current form(s) being used for employee evaluation for release and general job descriptions. This information shall be gener- al in nature, not employee specitic. When a modified work assignment is made, the employee shall be provided with the hours and days he/she is scheduled to work as well as the nature of the work to be performed in writing. A copy of this notice shall also be submitted to the Local Union. + An employee who is placed in a modified work position may be subject to medical evaluation(s) by a physician selected by the Employer to determine if the modified work being per- formed is accelerating the rehabilitative process as anticipated by Section 2 above. [n the event such medical evaluation(s) determine that the rehabilitative process is not being accelerat- ed, the employee shall have the right to seek a second opinion from a physician of his choosing. Any disputes regarding con- flicting medical claims shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions outlined above. The employee may be removed from the modified work program based upon final medical findings under this procedure. Employees so removed shall not have their worker's compensation benefits affected because of such removal. In the event the employee's tempo- rary disability worker's compensation benefit is subject to reduction by virtue of an applicable Federal or State statute, the Employer shall pay the difference between the amount of the reduced temporary worker's compensation benetit to which the employee would be entitled. Modified work shall be restricted to the type of work that is not expected to result in a re-injury and which can be per- formed within the medical limitations set forth by the attend- ing physician. In the event the employee, in hislher judgment, is physically unable to perform the modified work assigned, he/she shall be either reassigned modified work within his/her physical capabilities or returned to full "temporary total" worker's compensation benefits. In the event a third (3rd) party insurance carrier refuses to reinstate such employee to full temporary total disability benefits, the Employer shall be required to pay the difference between the amount of the ben- efit paid by such third (Jrd) party insurer and full total tempo- rary disability benetits. Determination of physical capabilities shall be based on the attending physicians medical evaluation. Under no conditions will the in...

MAS. Those scan pairs where a higher beam current was used are drawn from clinical practice, while the majority of the low- dose data is drawn from the Xxxxxx trial (of asymptomatic sub- jects), meaning that for our data set a high value of c is likely to imply a more severe stage of COPD. For example, 25% of the 16 subjects with average c of 75 mAs have a GOLD class of 4, which is true of only 9% of the 172 subjects with average c of 25
MAS. The data used here are therefore insufficient to provide a full analysis of how the scan dose affects the outcome of our system. However, we believe it is likely that using data with a better signal-to-noise ratio would improve the system results. Nonetheless, it is advantageous to have shown that the system is also capable of working on low-dose data which can be acquired with less risk to the subject.
