4-dimensional local radial basis function interpolation of large, uniformly spaced datasets.

Background And Objective: Large, uniformly spaced, complex and time varying datasets derived from high resolution medical image velocimetry can provide a wealth of information regarding small-scale transient physiological flow phenomena and pulsation of anatomical boundaries. However, there remains a need for interpolation techniques to effectively reconstruct a fully 4-dimensional functional relationship from this data. This paper presents a preliminary evaluation of a 4-dimensional local radial basis function (RBF) algorithm as a means of addressing this problem for laminar flows.

Randomized controlled trial comparing Thermachoice III* in the outpatient versus daycase setting.

Objective: To evaluate outpatient versus daycase Thermachoice III endometrial ablation.

Design: Randomized, controlled trial.

Setting: Large United Kingdom teaching hospital.

Thermachoice endometrial ablation in the outpatient setting, without local anesthesia or intravenous sedation: a prospective cohort study.

Objective: To determine whether Thermachoice endometrial ablation (EA) is a safe and acceptable procedure when performed in the outpatient (OP) setting without local anesthesia or IV sedation.

Design: Prospective cohort (double group) study.

Setting: Hysteroscopy clinic of large UK hospital.
