- Tumor development was examined weekly by X-ray with an MX-20 DC Digital Radiography System (Faxitron X-Ray Corporation, Lincolnshire, IL) and by caliper measurements of the length and the width of the tumor leg from which the tumor volume was calculated with the formula V = length 6 width2/2.

Pneumonia3
- Lung ultrasonography (LUS) gives results that are similar to HR-CT and superior to standard chest CXR for evaluation of pneumonia and/or ARDS with the added advantage of ease of use at point of care, repeatability, absence of radiation exposure, and low cost [12- (siemens-healthineers.com)

Anatomical2
- CONCLUSIONS--In pulmonary arteriovenous malformations the simple physiological shunt calculated from SaO2 breathing air agreed well with the anatomical right to left shunt measured with 99mTc-MAA, but predicted poorly the changes in anatomical shunt induced by postural or lung volume changes.

- Although measurement of paraquat concentration in blood helps in confirming the diagnosis and predicting outcomes, it does not determine the intervention. (jcsr.co.in)
