circumferential dissection of the artery
Radiofrequency energy is applied in a circumferential series of dots around the cornea.
A circumferential difference of just 3mm in the wheels could cause a problem.
It may be necessary to relieve airway compression resulting from circumferential chest burns.
There is constriction of the prolapsed mucosa in a circumferential pattern.
Initially the velocity distribution was very asymmetric with low velocity regions at four circumferential positions in the wake of the four upstream support wires.
The extent and severity scores were calculated with the values of circumferential profiles.
Figures 9, 11, and 13 show the circumferential and axial components of shear stress, respectively, for all three cycles.
From these measurements, the fractional shortening and velocity of circumferential fibre shortening of the left ventricle were calculated.
