Abstract:
This WinZip archive 'Combined R, EpiWin & datafiles (rev 2016-9-29).zip' contains the basic data used in the meta-analysis of doi 10.1016/j.mrrev.2016.07.008 (M.P. Little, 2016) [1], complete with R (R Project version 3.2.2, 2015) [2] code used for meta-regression etc. The basic data is derived from the papers of Mulrooney et al. (D.A. Mulrooney, M.W. Yeazel, T. Kawashima, A.C. Mertens, P. Mitby, M. Stovall, S.S. Donaldson, D.M. Green, C.A. Sklar, L.L. Robison, W.M. Leisenring, 2009) [3], Cutter et al. (D.J. Cutter, M. Schaapveld, S.C. Darby, M. Hauptmann, F.A. van Nimwegen, A.D.G. Krol, C.P.M. Janus, F.E. van Leeuwen, B.M.P. Aleman, 2015) [4] and van Nimwegen et al. (F.A. van Nimwegen, M. Schaapveld, D.J. Cutter, C.P.M. Janus, A.D.G. krol, M. Hauptmann, K. Kooijman, J. Roesink, R. van der Maazen, S.C. Darby, B.M.P. Aleman, F.E. van Leeuwen, 2016) [5], and other data taken from various Tables in the papers summarized in Tables 2-4 of doi 10.1016/j.mrrev.2016.07.008 [1]. The archive also contains R [2] script files that perform the meta-analysis.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
