Optimizing accuracy and precision for point-of- care tests
نویسنده
چکیده
Point-of-care testing sites continue to increase in number due to the availability of easy-to-use devices that make it possible to provide test results very quickly relative to the central laboratory services. There is, however, mixed review regarding the accuracy and reliability of POCT results for patient care. It is indicated that most of the test-result-quality concerns are due to compliance issues in the preanalytical and postanalytical phases of the POC testing. This review focuses on the causes of preanalytical errors, impact on patient care and strategies for reducing the errors.

Accuracy improvement of Best Scanline Search Algorithms for Object to Image Transformation of Linear Pushbroom Imagery
Unlike the frame type images, back-projection of ground points onto the 2D image space is not a straightforward process for the linear pushbroom imagery. In this type of images, best scanline search problem complicates image processing using Collinearity equation from computational point of view in order to achieve reliable exterior orientation parameters. In recent years, new best scanline sea...
متن کاملReal-Time Kinematic Network of Tehran, from Design to Application
Following the request of the Tehran municipality and in order to provide the spatial information required in their various projects, a real-time kinematic network has been designed for Tehran. Based on the existing measures such as the dilution of precision at the network point positions, two different designs have been proposed. A minimum number of six GNSS stations are used in both of the pro...
